Product Description

Review

Scmidt's instrumental inventiveness and themetic resource are a constant delight,with Sinaisky and his players triumphantly surmounting every technical hurdle. Performance ***** Recording**** --BBC Music Magazine,August 2010

Sinaisky's handling of the great opening paragraph is mightily impressive and, as with the symphony,the orchestral delivery is a delight. Recommended. --Gramophone,Nov'10

Those coming new to them could not hope for a better entree than through Sinaisky's persuasive readings. --IRR,Jan'11

This is a beautiful symphony - if you like Richard Strauss, Elgar or Vaughan Williams you will love it. It takes a few hearings to reveal itself, and then you will be hooked. The second subject in the first movement is particularly lovely. There are echoes of Bruckner in the scherzo - Schmidt studied with Bruckner. The Chaconne is a generous and interesting extra, full of Schmidt's characteristic rich orchestration - it sounds occasionally, and enticingly, like an orchestration of something by Bach. Sinaisky and the Malmö orchestra give superb performances, as they did on their earlier recordings of the 1st and 2nd Symphonies. Very strongly recommended.

the cycle to buy 22 Jun 2011
By Nick TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Having been complacently happy with the Jarvi/Chandos cycle of these wonderful pieces I was rather slow to engage with the Sinaisky/Malmo/Naxos series. My loss - this has proved to be one of Naxos' most consistently fine cycles. Excellent engineering revealing the virtuosic playing of the Malmo orchestra. Sinaisky has full measure of the music too. Additionally, each disc is interesting coupled - there isn't much orchestral music by Schmidt aside from the Symphonies so these 4 discs cover pretty much all there is. This is a composer you can really hear developing from the somewhat derivative grandeur of the 1st symphony to the wholly unique and personal utterance of the magnificent 4th. Don't forget Schmidt (in his earlier years) was one of the cellists in the Vienna Philharmonic under Mahler so that gives you a sense of the emotional/musical landscape he inhabits. He left the orchestra after a feud with Mahler fuelled by the great leader/violinist Arnold Rose... so they were all human after all. This 3rd Symphony is his most 'standard' and was a runner up at the Columbia competition where Atterberg 6 won (the so-called Dollar Symphony)- if you like Strauss or other big-boned Germanic music this will be for you. NOT the neuroses of a Mahler which is why I probably like it more. Combining quality with the Naxos price advantage this is a no-brainer, buy one and I'll bet you'll have all four before the year is out

Chaconne is the winner here 22 Sep 2010
By P. Weber - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The orchestra plays beautifully and the recorded sound is very good. Too bad the symphony isn't top notch material. This is very busy music, not as melodic as other Schmidt symphonies, nor as emotionally involving. But it does have some pleasant moments here and there. The real winner here is Chaconne with its organ like sonorities. It's a more interesting and moving work than the symphony. I look forward to symphony 4 next, considered by some as Schmidt's masterpiece.
