Review: New York Herald, 11 February 1867, 5.

“The twenty-fourth of Mr. Harrison’s Sunday concerts at Steinway Hall last night showed no diminution either in number or appreciation on the part of the audience.  The hall was crowded and the encores frequent. The orchestral parts of the programme comprised the Euryanthe and Lurline overtures, the Standard Bearer and Visions in a Dream, and were finely played. The vocal selections embraced ‘On Mighty Peres,” from the Creation, Claribel’s beautiful ballad, ‘I cannot sing these old songs,’ a sacred German song by Bach with Mr. Bergner’s violoncello obligato and Gounod’s Ave Maria with Mr. Mills at the piano, Carl Rosa, violin, and Mr. Colby at the organ. The singing was deserving of the highest praise; Rosa seems to gain more finish and mastery of execution and tone and Mills proved himself as usual worthy of the high position he has won among American pianists. No wonder with such artists and such a programme that these concerts should be so successful.”

Review: New-York Times, 11 February 1867, 5.

“The twenty-fourth Sunday concert last night brought out the usual brilliant audience, notwithstanding the cold and the wind. Mlle. Parepa, Mr. S. B. Mills, Mr. Carl Rosa, and Mr. Theodore Thomas and his orchestra were the artists who officiated on the occasion. It is needless to speak of their efforts. Everything passed off in the best possible manner.”
