Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 06 May 1871, 4.

“There was a great crowd yesterday afternoon at the Philharmonic rehearsal—the last of the present season. Dr. Damrosch gave a splendid interpretation of Beethoven’s violin concerto, and Miss Krebs made her debut as a vocalist, singing the well-known prayer from ‘Der Freyschütz’ and a scena by Mr. Louis Dachauer. We reserve our criticisms until after the concert, only adding that the performance this evening promises to make a brilliant and interesting close to a most satisfactory season. The playing of the Scotch symphony of Mendelssohn yesterday was admirable.”
