Prager Morgenpost
6/6/1863 published a review, signed ‘-ý.’, of this concert. The critic remarked: ‘Concert. The brothers Doppler yesterday gave their second and last concert in the Estates Theatre. The numbers performed were a Phantasie on Hungarian Folksongs for two flutes, composed and performed by the concert-givers, a Duet on themes from the opera
Rigoletto“ (similarly their own composition), and the Carnevalle di Venezia. From the substantial,  quite numerously assembled auditorium both artists received well-deserved applause and gained for themselves several recalls [back before the audience]. As I have already had the opportunity to report here upon the first concert of these estimable virtuosi, about their excellent playing, about the spirited performances and so exceedingly fine and noble expression, about their beautiful, appealing tone, and more, so that in these few lines it will hopefully be sufficient about the success of these concerts to say that in all respects they were very brilliant. – Miss Brenner [Brennerová] offered as vocal contribution an aria from the opera  Johann von Parisand a Lied by Proch. Preceeding was the comedy by Lederer, Geistige Liebe.’
