Review: New-York Times, 27 August 1875, 4.

“The regular and potent attractions of this most regular and popular place of resort received last evening an addition in shape of the performances of Signor Tagliapietra. The noble voice of this young baritone had already been heard at the Academy of Music, and it will not cause astonishment to the many thousand persons who have tested the acoustic qualities of Gilmore’s concert garden to learn that its rich and powerful tones afforded quite as much pleasure as when the artist trod the boards in the picturesque costume required by the exigencies of the lyric drama. Signor Tagliapietra sang Mattei's 'Non è Ver,’ and so well did he sing it that its immediate repetition was instantly insisted upon. The remainder of the programme was, as usual, inspiriting and satisfactory to the most critical. Mr. Levy played ‘Robert, toi que j’aime,’ besides the two or three additional solos de rigeur; Mr. Arbuckle contributed an ‘Air varié’; Rossini’s overture to ‘Semiramide,’ and Cherubini’s ‘Anacreon’ overture delighted the lovers of the classical and semi-classical, and Strauss and Offenbach—the former represented by the ‘Wiener Blut’ waltz, and the latter by selections from ‘La Bell Hélène’—afforded a liberal measure of delight to the less exacting listener. The audience was very large.”
