(1890). EXTRACT FROM MRS E. H. PALMER. "MISS ROSINA CARANDINI" [1]

[From the following, it would seem Christofero Palmerston Carandini was disowned by his family or, at the very least, not publicly acknowledged as a part of it]:

Of the eight children of the Marquis Carandini one daughter died in infancy, and the other five have all distinguished themselves musically.

The eldest son, Captain Frank Carandini, of the 8th Hussars, is at present adjutant in the Behar of Light Horse, a regiment of planters. About two or three years ago, he married a daughter of General Clementson, of Madras.

Miss Fannie Carandini, who will be well remembered here as touring with her mother, married Captain Sir Henry Morland, a naval man, and head of the Freemasons in India, and resides in Bombay.

Miss Isabella Carandini, who very early married Mr. George Cotterell, the inimitable mimic and humourist, was early widowed, and after a widowhood of eight-years durlng which she supported herself—in New Zealand- by teaching singing, married a second time, Sir Norman Campbell, Baronet, of the house of the Argyles.

Miss Lizzie Carandini, married Mr. John Adams, Government architect of Bombay.

Victor Emanuel Carandini, the second son and seventh in the family, is settled in Brisbane, where he practises his profession of architect, and Marie, youngest of all is married to a Brisbane gentleman, Mr. Robert Wilson, but is at present in Paris where she intended taking lessons from Madame Marchesi, but the project was cut short by illness.

Mrs. Palmer's oldest daughter, who is a few months older than her youngest aunt, married another brother, Mr. Gilbert Wilson, and having suffered reversals of fortunes, common enough in Australia, has settled down bravely to teach the family talent -- singing.

So that of all the Carandinis, it may be said, that they have suffered all sorts of fortune and being weighed in the balance have not been found wanting. Of none of them is this more emphatically true than of the subject of this sketch, for great as are her artistic attainments, the lustre of her personal qualities brightens their attraction.

OBITUARY. MADAME CARANDINI. A cablegram received from England last week announced the death at Bath, on the 13th April, of Madame Carandini, who at one time, by herself, and subsequently with her daughters, took a very prominent part in the musical entertainments of Melbourne.

Madame Carandini was born at Brixton, near London, in 1826. She came out to Tasmania in 1833. Her father having died, she married at the age of 17 the Marquis Carandini, an Italian noble man who had been obliged to leave his own country owing to political troubles, and who at one time conducted a dancing academy in Hobart.

Madame Carandini showed great musical abilities at an early age. In those days Hobart was famous for concerts and amateur theatrical entertainments. Rogers, for many years the most popular comedian in Melbourne, graduated there.

In 1815 Madame Carandini went to Sydney, and at once took a leading part in the performance of musical dramas and operas in English, such as " Fra Diavolo", " Der Freischutz," " The Daughter of the Regiment," " Le Chevel de Bronze," " Norma," and " Masaniello." At this time she was associated with Messrs. Frank and John Howson, Mrs. Stirling (afterwards Mrs. Guerin, and now Mrs. Stewart), and others.

In 1850 the famous contralto Sara Flower made her appearance in Australia, and in conjunction with that lady Madame Carandini gave a series of concerts. They played opera together in 1851 and 1852, appearing in "Norma" in February of that year.

In November, 1854, Madame Carandini removed to Melbourne. On the arrival of Catherine Hayes she assisted that celebrated vocalist in the production of operas, frequently, in the absence of a good tenor, taking the tenor parts. She subsequently appeared on the concert platform in the principal gold-fields towns of Victoria, where her fine soprano voice proved an enormous attraction.

In 1859 she took part in Sydney in the musical portion of the ceremonies which inaugurated the great hall of the Sydney University. In the sixties Madame Carandini, in the giving of concerts, had the assistance of her daughters Rosina (now Mrs. Palmer) and Fanny (now Lady Morland), two most attractive vocalists, who soon gained great distinction. The company became known as the Carandini Family, and, with Mr. Walter Sherwin as tenor, they were popular wherever they went.

They were especially successful in 1867-8, during the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh, who personally expressed to them his own gratification. The company afterwards toured the neighbouring colonies and the provincial towns of Victoria, reaching comparatively inaccessible places in their own vehicle.

A trip to India followed with most satisfactory results. There Miss Fanny found a husband and a title and withdrew into private life, marrying a distinguished officer of the Royal Engineers stationed at Bombay.

Madame Carandini's voice retained its power after she had reached an advanced age. It will be remembered that she took part in the benefit concert tendered to her two years ago on the occasion of her departure for England to reside with Lady Morland, who, after the death of her husband, settled at Bath.

Madame Carandini leaves five daughters—Mrs, Palmer (Rosina), Lady Morland (Fanny), Lady Campbell (Isabella), Mrs. Adams (Elizabeth), and Mrs. Wilson (Marie). The music-loving public owe much to her for what she accomplished for them in the fifties and early sixties, when the art was in its infancy as far as this colony is concerned.

Her daughters, who inherited her gift of singing, were ail thoroughly trained. Marie, the last to come to the front, made her debut about the time of the Sydney Exhibition of 1879-80, and soon afterwards married.

Only the daughters, however, were known as vocalists: the eldest son took up the profession of a soldier, and went with the British forces to Afghanistan in the seventies.

Madame Carandini was a wonderfully vigorous lady in her old age'; she kept her good looks to the last, and they were set off with a head of beautiful snowy hair.
