Review: New York Herald, 17 June 1875, 7.

“Gilmore’s concerts at his magnificent summer garden, which has no equal on either side of the Atlantic, still continue in undiminished popularity. Last night the garden was crowded to its fullest capacity, many of the notables of the metropolis being present. The band improves on acquaintance, and shows a disposition to equal any of our orchestras in the intelligence and finish which it brings to bear on compositions of the highest order. Rarely in this country has Wagner found more faithful and effective interpreters of his music than among Gilmore’s men.”
