The opening concert of the 2004 Salzburg
Festival was highly praised. Two renowned
critics were in attendance:
„The Vienna Philharmonic, Schmid and Ozawa
opened the festival honouring the rehabilitation of
Erich Wolfgang Korngold.“
Wilhelm Sinkovicz, Die Presse
„Schmid was more than brilliant in his début with
the Philharmonic: no obstacle is too difficult, no
phrase too light for him to avoid refining it with his
incredibly varied tone.“
Karl Harb, Salzburger Nachrichten
