Review: New York Post, 22 November 1873, 2.

“These interesting vocalists, at a second concert given at Steinway Hall last night, introduced some new songs and a number of old favorites. The peculiarities of their style we have already alluded to, and need only add now that their concerts are entirely unique.”
