Review: New York Herald, 25 March 1872, 5.

“The rendering of the work was highly creditable, especially that of the ‘Inflammatus,’ by Miss Teresa Werneke, and of ‘Cujus Animam,’ which were gems in their way. This is the best choir in the city for Catholic music, as the skill and musical ability of the conductor make the proper interpretation of great works a necessity, and the voices of the soloists are particularly trained to that end.”
