“Theodore Thomas’ orchestra has met with unparalleled success in Boston. It has improved since the last season in New York in many essential points, such as the emphasis and simultaneity of expression, refinement and delicacy and in the power to produce a whisper in each instrument and a mere murmur in a pianissimo. Mr. Thomas has also made great strides in leadership, aiming at perfection.”
