"...ablaze with life, warmth and a sense of discovery...Ole Schmidt is a sure and penetrating guide and his readings have an authentic ring to them, for he has real feeling for this glorious music."
Penguin Guide 1994
"...the Inextinguishable and the No. 5 are among the best on record, No. 4 preferable to Karajan on DG...No. 5 possibly the best currently available."
