Review: New-York Times, 30 October 1862, 5.

“The success of Mr. Harrison’s third concert (second Gottschalk series) was so marked that the fourth and last--which takes place to-night--will probably draw forth one of the largest and most fashionable audiences ever seen in Irving Hall. On Tuesday night, there was only standing room, a condition of things which did not in the slightest degree interfere with the pleasure of the audience, if we may form an idea from the inordinate number of encores which occurred. Miss Fanny Stockton was the vocalist of the occasion, and acquitted herself with distinguished honors. Mr. Theodor [sic] Thomas on the violin, Mr. Eben on the flute were, as usual, admirable. Mr. Castle, the new tenor, improves so rapidly on acquaintance, that he is already a great favorite with the public. These are the auxiliary artists of Mr. Harrison’s really fine entertainments. Mr. Gottschalk is, of course, the principal attraction; on the present occasion he was assisted by Miss Barnetche, a young lady who possesses much power and precision as a pianist, and who in the 'Trovatore' duet divided the house with Mr. Gottschalk.

Review: Dwight's Journal of Music, 15 November 1862, 261.
“Mr. Gottschalk has given another series of concerts at Irving Hall. Their mixed character, reduced prices, and curiosity regarding the débuts of some of the ‘assistance,’ have drawn large audiences. . . . Barnetche [is] a pianist of considerable talent. . . . [Many performers] have taken part in the programmes, the selections of which have been as usual, with an occasional good thing sandwiched between bad and indifferent.”
