Notes and Editorial Reviews
"...In Schumann's Second and Third symphonies, Welser-Möst takes the London Philharmonic on a lightning tour of German Romanticism with cursory stops at charm, fantasy, and sentiment..." - AllMusic Guide
"...Welser-Möst simply lets the strings and winds sing without tempo and phrasing manipulations. The tempo is more moderate than the somewhat impatient Dohnányi recording, which in some ways is the Schumann Third for those who don’t like the traditional approach to the piece. Welser-Möst isn’t exactly traditional, due to his reserve, but he doesn’t waste effort trying to re-invent the wheel, either..." - MusicWeb International
