The 19-strong string ensemble makes a big-boned sound, closely miked...It launches into the Souvenir de Florence with bold confidence...In the shorter numbers, Schmidt leads a wistful Valse sentimentale, while October from The Seasons particularly suits the cello spotlight, his glowing tone warm and inviting.
