Notes and Editorial Reviews
"Too long neglected on disc, (his excellent Nielsen symphonies now also Regis) Ole Schmidt and Royal Philharmonic, with ideal couplings, offers an outstanding version of the Second Symphony…beautifully played and recorded in vivid, open sound, one of the very finest at any price." -- Penguin Guide, 3 stars

Excellent Borodin Collection March 13, 2014
By Steve Rutledge (Lake Bluff, IL) See All My Reviews
"Excellent recording. The selections were uniformly interesting and well performed. I got this CD to familiarize myself with the music of Borodin prior to seeing the Met HD Live production of "Prince Igor" recently, and it prepared me well for the music of the opera."
