"Very well attended event. The “Zigeuner - Cantata” was performed well by chorus, soloists and Seifert’s accompaniment on the piano, yet a full orchestra would have been needed to bring the piece to its full potential. Without the sounds of cymbals, kettle-drums and triangles a gipsy dance seems rather dull. The audience received the performance warmly.
