“I have written before about the special distinction of Karajan’s recordings of the Schumann symphonies (which are unsurpassed in the present catalogue) when discussing the coupling of the Rhenish with Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony in April. The Spring is no exception: it is as fresh as it should be, beautifully paced, and the playing of the Berlin Philharmonic is magnificent. The digitally remastered sound is drier than the original but on the whole is very successful; the bright-eyed quality suits the music. A most enjoyable disc.” (Ivan March, Gramophone)

“Karajan’s interpretations of the Schumann Symphonies stand above all other modern readings.” (Penguin Guide)
