"This Swiss orchestra has a knack for performing the classics with the least fuss but most effective way possible undoubtedly due to their long association with the great Ernest Ansermet. Armin Jordan is a similarly undemonstrative conductor and his readings of the Schumann symphonies are classically inspired with some excellent brass playing especially in the opening of the First Symphony.

My selected comparison in these works is always Sawallish with the Dresden orchestra and Jordan holds his head up high especially in the enigmatic Second Symphony which is always extremely difficult to bring off.

The Third also comes across quite beautifully with the middle movements very sensuous and dreamy whilst the Fourth is excellently taut and brilliantly held together." ClassicalNet
