Prager Morgenpost 28/12/1859 published details of this third entertainment given by the Männergesangverein, listing the complete, ‘very interesting’ programme. Bohemia 28/12/1859 also published the date, venue, time and listed the programme of the entertainment. On the day of the event details appeared in the newspaper’s Tageskalender. Prager Zeitung 28/12/1859 reported only that ‘The Männergesangverein will tomorrow in the Konvikt Hall give its third Evening Entertainment. In the programme is to be found 12 Songs [Gesänge]; Czech songs [böhmische Lieder] alternating with German ones.’
The more substantial Czech content of this programme in comarison with the two previous entertainments staged by the Mens’s Singing Society evidently pleased the critic of the unsigned Dalibor 1/1/1860 review noted, who noted that ‘the choice of choruses was exquisite, and their performance really excellent.’ However, the reviewer still expressed a wish that the Männergesangverein would perform more Czech works. The chorus Nevěrný milý was wrongly attributed to J[osef] Vašák; it was actually composed by his brother Emanuel and had recently been published. Milosť a vino may also have been incorrectly attributed to Josef. Conversely, in the Prager Morgenpost 28/12/1859 record of the programme Milosť a vino was incorrectly specified as being by Josef, but Nevěrný milý was noted as being by Emanuel.
