The injury occurring to an artist from extreme over
criticisms beforehand was evident in the case of Campanini.
With his glorious voice and dramatic qualities it was
quite unnecessary, his merits were and are quite sufficient ;
but the public were led to believe they were about to hear
"the greatest tenor that ever appeared, none excepted."
Campanini is a great artist : himself and Fancelli now hold
the first places. Comparisons in art are particularly odious,
both fully deserve the positions they have attained, and
can " well hold their own :>
on their merits. It will be
observed that Trebelli on this, as on a former occasion,
with that self-sacrifice always attached to a true artiste,
joined the "Tre Damigelli," adding thereby wonderful
effect to the beautiful concerted music.
