Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 13 February 1867.

“The commencement of the matinée series of Messrs. Severini and Pease was signalized by Severini’s appreciative utterance of the ‘Agnus Dei’ of Mozart and Gounod’s charming Serenade—surely a specimen of the beau ideal of a music essentially French, or what distinctive French music should be. “
