To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The following is the account which appeared in The Times on the day after the performance, and which is here quoted in full : LISZT IN ENGLAND. 139. The performance last night of Liszt's Oratorio " St. Elizabeth " was an event not likely to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. St. James's Hall was crowded to the last seat by an audience representative both in a social and artistic sense, and including the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the Koyal Family. The reception given... to the master is perhaps unequalled in the annals of English music. On driving up to St. James's Hall he was recognised and loudly cheered by the crowd in the street, and as he entered the concert room the enthusiasm at once reached fever heat, one salvo of applause following upon another in rapid succession. The composer occupied a seat in one of the side rows of the stalls, but after the first pait and again at the end of the performance, the audience insisted upon his ascending the platform to acknowledge the cheers intermingled with an occasional " eljen " which rose from every side.
