Under Vassily Sinaisky the Malmö Symphony Orchestra makes a strong case for the revival of Schmidt's strangely neglected, yet sumptuous and deeply satisfying music. The Malmö Symphony Orchestra has been described as "world class" by ClassicsToday whilst Vassily Sinaisky was described in the following terms by International Record Review: "as usual, (he) offers rich performances that coax out the music's colour and melodic appeal."
