Review: New York Herald, 18 November 1872, 4.

“The music of the mass was Haydn’s No. 2. This mass, of course, was solemn and stately, not offering to the singers any chance to revel in some of the brilliant solos which are to be found in modern compositions. Miss Howson and Miss Munier both sang with their usual fidelity, and Coletti and Bernhardt were equally up to the mark. Danforth’s performance on the organ showed his customary care and ability, and altogether the mass went along admirably.”
