Review: New York Post, 10 May 1870, 2.

“…Not the least part of the charming effect of the night’s entertainment was the orchestral music, under the able direction of Mr. Specht. Not only during the play, but between the acts, the musical language of the instruments was in happy combination, if not competition, with the dramatic eloquence of the artists.”
