"What a concert! Benjamin’s Schmid's Paganini Violin Concerto, and its cadenza, will live in our minds for years."

"It was a masterclass in violin technique, demonstrating the remarkable along with lyrical, with equal facility"

“Performances with more interest per bar than most can manage for entire sonatas”

Schmid mesmerises from his very first entry, shaping phrases with a skin-rippling sensitivity to send the spirits soaring. A violin classic.”
