The substantial Národní listy 19/12/1862 review, signed ‘**’, described this concert as having been a success; the critic noted that ‘for a long time we have not encountered so numerous an audience’ and related that the public was forced to squeeze into the adjoining rooms of the hall. Some, whom the critic noted included ladies, were not able to find places. The reason for the great public interest in this production was ascribed not only to the successful didactic work of the Humanitarian Musical Society itself ‘but also to the well-constructed programme’ characterised both by variety and broad appeal.

Of the individual performances given by pupils of the institute, the reviews published by Národní listy, Dalibor 20/12/1862 and Slavoj 1/1/1863 were united in their praise of the various soloists, the only significant variations of critical opinion concerning the pianist Adéle Müllerová. Here the three reports seemed to display varying degrees of good-natured charity in their description of the child’s performance. Thus, the ‘little girl’ was commended by the Národní listy critic for battling with ‘adult strength and excellence’ to gain a ‘good result’ in Mozart’s trio. The unspecified reviewer writing in Dalibor 20/12/1862 remarked that ‘This young pianist has pretty talents, if diligently educated she will be assured of a pleasing future.’ More pointedly, and perhaps with a touch of sarcasm, the unsigned report published by Slavoj 1/1/1863 asserted that the performance of the trio suffered in the third and final movement owing to the shortness of the pianist’s fingers. Concerning the other soloists, particular praise was heaped by the Národní listy critic upon Miss Marie Macháčková who, in addition to a German song by Abt performed ‘our favourite „Češka [Czech lady]“ by Škroup with great approbation’. As an encored she repeated a stanza from this Czech song. Apparently the whole of the audience were enamoured of the young singer who, the critic asserted, was assured a splendid future.  The correspondent described the voice of Švarc as ‘plnozvučný’ - literally ‘sonorously full’ and particularly effective in compositions of Slavic character. On the wishes of the audience he encored the song by Pivoda. Finally, the Národní listy critic noted that the performances by the Society’s pupils Voves and Mühlsteinová were a testiment to the fine work of the Humanitarian Musical Society.

The Národní listy review noted that Miss z Ehrenbergů did not perform in the concert due to illness.

Notably, the German-language work by Abt performed by Macháčková was not mentioned in the Dalibor review of the event, which also seemed reticent to report upon the German songs performed by Popper. The Dalibor correspondent reported that the: ‘Concert of the Humanitarian Society directed by Mr Celestin Müller took placen 17th December in the Hall on Žofín and had a very favourable success. Little girl Adela Müllerova performed accurately and elegantly at the piano the Tercetto for piano, viola and clarinet with the support of Messrs Pisařovic and Weber. This young pianist has pretty talents, if diligently educated she will be assured of a pleasing future. Next we heard the very talented pianist Miss Klara Mühlsteinova who performed from memory the long Fantasie by Hummel with great fluency and composure. No less excelled Mr Voves, whose performance of the Cat Fugue by Scarlatti revealed unusual ability in disciplined playing. Let us certainly wish director Müller success for so talented pupils. In this concert there also participated Mr Popper, who sang some German songs, then Miss Macháčková who performed the song „Češka [Czech lady]“ by Škroup, gaining great applause. Most liked however was Mr Švarc who performed the song „Při luni [Close to the moon]“ by Miroslav and „Na výsosti hvězdy svítí [Stars shine on high]“ by Pivoda, the latter having to be encored. The attendance of the concert was very numerous.’
