M. Salvi, 1844. Creator: Unknown
M. Salvi, 1844. Portrait of Italian operatic tenor Lorenzo Salvi. Never, perhaps, was the room of the Philharmonic Concert more densely or critically crowded....Paginini (in the person of Sivori), and the purest and most impassioned tenor of our day (Salvi), were quite enough to excite the enthusiasm which appeared on the occasion...Of the tenor of Salvis singing there are scarcely any adequate terms to describe its beauty. He possesses a voice of extraordinary extent, with the utmost purity and sweetness of tone, whose soul-touching quality, if he were mere sound and nothing else, would reach the heart, and excite it. Added to this, he is the most finished vocalist we have ever listened to, and a dramatic de- claimer of the most energetic and powerful passion. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Italian operatic tenor, Lorenzo Salvi, in 1844. The image captures a moment of immense significance as it depicts Salvi performing at the Philharmonic Concert to an audience that was both densely packed and critically discerning. The atmosphere in the room is palpable with excitement, as two musical virtuosos graced the stage that evening. Niccolò Paganini, portrayed by Sivori, and Salvi himself were enough to ignite an overwhelming enthusiasm among those present. Describing Salvi's singing proves to be a challenge for words alone cannot adequately capture its sheer beauty. His voice possesses an extraordinary range coupled with utmost purity and sweetness of tone. Its soul-stirring quality has the power to reach deep into one's heart and stir emotions effortlessly. Salvi's vocal prowess is matched only by his impeccable artistry as a performer. He is hailed as one of the most polished vocalists of his time while also being a dramatic declaimer capable of delivering energetic and passionately charged performances. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" serves not only as a testament to Salvi's talent but also provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century entertainment culture. It immortalizes this iconic figure who captivated audiences with his exceptional voice and commanding stage presence. (Photo credit: Unknown)
