Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 14 November 1874, 7.

“At the third rehearsal of the Philharmonic Society yesterday there was a fine audience and a spirited performance. We have already spoken of the orchestral selections. Mlle. Donadio was the vocalist, and Miss Luckhardt played the new piano-forte concerto by Raff—a work which is pretty certain to please, though it does not compare in freshness with the Grieg concerto produced at the symphony concert last week.”
