The Times Nr. 33366 berichtet auf S. 13 in der 5. Spalte vom Konzert am 29.6.1891 mit der 3. Symphone:
"                 RICHTER CONCERTS.
     The symphony by Herr Anton Bruckner given at Monday night's concert is by no means a counterpart to the work by the same composer played under Dr. Richter some years ago, though it has a good many of the same general characteristics. That work, written as a memorial to Wagner, showed the influence of that master to an excessive extent; in this the composer has fallen into another error, and has given to the world what some severe critics will call a travesty of Beethoven. The characteristic opening phrase of the choral symphony, which reappears in every movement, is done to death in Herr Bruckner's first movement, also in the key of D minor, and at the close of the whole, it puts in an appearance almost as if in conscious defiance of the charge of plagiarism. This unfortunate defect apart, the work contains many passages of the utmost erudition, and many that are undoubtedly effectively written for the orchestra. The slow movement is overloaded with thematic material to such an extent that not half of it can be developed as it deserves; the most agreeable as well as the most original portion of the work is its scherzo, though there ist much merit in the second subject of the finale, a curious combination of two themes of widely different character, appearing for the first time simultaneously.
     As if to point out the contrast between one of the clearest writers of the past und one of the most diffuse, if not actually obscure, of the present, Haydn's symphony in D, nicknamed "The Clock," from the figure of accompaniment in the andante, was magnificently played. [... kurz zu den Wagner-Werken ...]." [keine Signatur] (**).
