Review: New York Herald, 30 October 1872, 7.

“Popular concerts and classical music never went well together; but the stillness which reigned at the Grand Opera House on Sunday evening while Signor Padovanni was playing ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ and other commonplaces showed a most perverse disposition on the part of unmusical people to be pleased with what musical people condemn.”
