Review: New-Yorker Musik-Zeitung, 04 June 1867, 617.

The concert was a complete success, and the concert hall was filled to its limits. The variety of performed pieces was applauded loudly. Especially Abt’s “Ave Maria” and “In der Fremde” were memorable. Also the Magic Flute priest’s chorus was performed rather well. After the concert, the traditional social dance floor was opened and used with enthusiasm and joy.
