Performance Notes"In a very fine performance of Elijah, given last night under Mr Barnby's direction at the Albert Hall, the principal soprano music was sung by Miss Monteith, an American singer of remarkable power. Her voice is piure in quality, more especially in the higer registers, and in the part of the widow, whose son is restored to life, she asng with considerable dramatic power" (The Times, 23 Januray 2015)
