Talk:Felix Mendelssohn

Jenny Lind and Mendelssohn

I saw an article about Jenny Lind in a hardcopy of the BBC Music magazine of June 2018. It came complete with quotes, one from Queen Victoria, and would have been a great source to use for starting a new page for this 19th century Swedish soprano singer. But, my google cannot find the BBC Music Magazine.

The closest I can find is : What has been allowed to be published recently are statements, which cannot be verified to be based on fact because the documents which would prove the statements to be true are denied to the public, or even to music scholars (musicologists, for example) to read, that Mendelssohn wrote passionate love letters in 1847 to Jenny Lind, "entreating her to join with him in an adulterous relationship and threatening suicide as a means of exerting pressure upon her" in https://coolwindmusic.blogspot.com/2017/03/jenny-lind-and-felix-mendelssohn-lovers.html
