Prager Morgenpost 6/4/1862 reported that ‘Haydn’s oratorio “Die Schöpfung” will be performed on 14th April by the Society of Musical Artists, with the participation of the members of the Žofín Academy, the Cecilian Society, the Men’s Singing Society, of Hlahol, the pupils of the music Conservatory, the members of the Theatre orchestra and many amateurs.’ No details of the programme or participating soloists were given. A substantial review, signed ‘-ý.’, was published by Prager Morgenpost 16/4/1862. The critic noted that it had been seven years since the last performance of this work in Prague, writing at length about the value of the piece and Haydn’s standing as a composer, particularly of sacred music. The performance and Jahn’s direction was praised and considered an achievement given the limited rehearsals. The audience was so numerous that the larger Žofín Hall was over full.

According to the Dalibor 1/5/1862 review, signed ‘r-r’, participating in this concert were members of the Žofín Academy, the Cecilia Society, the Prague male voice singing society Hlahol, pupils of the Conservatory, the orchestra of the Estates Theatre, and many amateurs. The solo vocalists comprised Mrs Emilie Kainz-Prausová, Jan Ludevít Lukes and J. Krén. The performance was described as being ‘fair’. The review included an extended commentary upon the background and first performances of the oratorio, and lavished particular praise upon the work for its wide-ranging expressive content and its orchestration ‘as clear as the blue sky.’
