Richard Pennycuick on the Schumann symphonies:
>The Gardiner set is worth considering for different versions of the 4th.
>Sawallisch also gives you Overture, Scherzo and Finale - I'm not sure
>whether Harnoncourt or Gardiner do. IMHO, the standard was set by Szell.
The reference point for me would be the Kubelik/Bavarian Radio Symphony on
Sony Essentials.
