Schmidt Symphonies: Déjà Review by Rob Barnett Posted by YB Schragadove on January 25, 2026, 10:17 pm In Rob Barnett's Déjà Review of Järvi's Chandos set of Schmidt symphonies (re-posted on 25-Jan-26), in reference to alternatives for the Fourth symphony, he writes "There’s also another – and easier to find Fourth – this time from Franz Welser-Möst. It’s on EMI Classics with Hans Bauer’s Hussarenlied Variations...". Who is Hans Bauer??

Re: Schmidt Symphonies: Déjà Review by Rob Barnett Posted by YB Schragadove on January 25, 2026, 10:43 pm, in reply to "Re: Schmidt Symphonies: Déjà Review by Rob Barnett" Thanks for this reference. But from Rob's sentence, one would infer that Bauer's recording is the coupling to Welser-Möst's 1995 Schmidt 4 on EMI [724355551825] - it's not.
