“Schneiderhan’s version is amongst the greatest recordings: the serene spiritual beauty of the slow movement and the playing of the second subject in particular have never been surpassed … Jochum provides a background tapestry of breadth and dignity” (Penguin Guide Rosette) “technically the best stereo version in the catalogue … slow-movement cadenza is rather good, with its hint of the finale theme just before the end … after the second cadenza in the finale, Jochum brings the ‘cellos and basses in with tremendous effect” (Gramophone)
