“PentaTone's parade of hits in its Remastered Quadro Recording (RQR) series of hybrid SA-CDs continues with 1970/71 recordings of Schumann's Symphony No. 1 in B-flat, the "Spring," and No. 3 in E-flat, the "Rhenish." Both are given full-bodied, lusty performances by Eliahu Inbal and the Philharmonia Orchestra.”
---Dr. Phil Muse, Classik Reviews (September 2003)

“Szell is considered a master at this repertory and his recording of all four Schumann symphonies a classic, but I found on the interpretation level that Inbal’s version had more excitement and verve about it - and I don’t feel I was thrown by the improved sonics either. Add to that the greater depth, clarity, enhanced dynamic range, and real sense of the concert hall venue around you, and the Pentatone SA-CD comes out the winner easily.”
---John Sunier, Audiophile Audition (October 2003)“Eliah Inbal's recording of Schumann's Symphony No. 1 was made in Brent Town Hall in London in September 1970, the Symphony No. 3 in Watford Town Hall in June of the following year. Volker Strauss was the producer and he did a fine job sonically; the four-track sound has presence and tonal beauty in spite of two different venues, there is fine stereo spread with appropriate ambient sound from the rear.”
