"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 a real feeling for this glorious music."
Penguin Guide 1994
"...devastating account of "Sinfonia Semplice" (No.6)is surely Schmidt's greatest achievement...no-one should jump to conclussions about this symphony before having heard the burning intensity Ole Schmidt brings to it."
