"... Schmid is dreamy and improvisatory-sounding ... if only every disc of Reger’s music were as enjoyable as (this), his music would surely be more popular with audiences than it is now."
- Fanfare
"Schmid's playing is technically pristine, if cool, while the Tampere Philharmonic under Hannu Lintu opt for clarity rather than depth. The underlying idea, presumably, is to emphasize the classical sinews beneath the post-Romantic surface."
- The Guardian
Known for his exceptionally wide repertoire and a great sense of musicality, Benjamin Schmid is one of the most versatile and acclaimed violinists today, equally at home playing jazz or classical music. He delivers a captivating performance of Max Reger's Violin Concerto, a charming big romantic work with broad sentimental gestures. The programme concludes with a virtuosic Chaconne for solo violin, a work inspired by Reger's greatest idol J.S. Bach.
"I know this sounds arrogant, but I believe that this violin concerto will follow in the footsteps of those of Beethoven and Brahms."
- Max Reger
