After all, whatever Lola wanted, Lola got.The little girl's stay in Sunderland lasted only a year, as she was then transferred to Bath for a more "sophisticated" education.At 16, Eliza decided it was time to marry off her daughter.

A horrified Lola rebelled by eloping with the first man she could find.Lola's marriage to Lieutenant Thomas James caused a huge scandal and floundered from the start.

He was a domineering man and she found life as a married woman a chore and a bore.Deserting her Indian marital home in 1840, Lola fled back to Britain to stay with Catherine Rae, who she loved as a surrogate mother.James sued for divorce, citing adultery, the following year, which was granted on the condition neither party ever married again.With scandal of elopement, adultery and divorce now attached to her name, Lola could no longer hope for a normal life.

Life as a stage performer was the best of the limited opportunities left open to her.At first Lola took lessons with the famous actress Fanny Kelly, who ran an academy at her Soho home.

Acting, however, was not her forte.Next she turned her attention, much more successfully, to dancing, travelling to Spain to learn the Flamenco.

Written during Dvorak's famous visit to the United States in the late 19th century, the piece is one European's impression of America during the golden years before World War I.

As the Vogler Quartet, a group of European musicians, interpreted this idealized European view of America, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of music Dvorak would write if he were to visit our country today.

Musings about American identity aside, this piece is filled with energy, optimism and a sweetness of spirit, and the Vogler Quartet played it as it was written: as a love song to a young country with wings on its feet and stars in its eyes.

After several curtain calls, the Vogler Quartet obliged the enthusiastic audience with a brief but spirited encore: The Scherzo from Beethoven's String Quartet Op.

It's hard to be suitably awed when magnificent music seems to happen as naturally as the flight of birds.
