Kodama's Schmidt 4 leans much more in the direction of Mehta than most other conductors - which is to say that it's more expansive, which I greatly prefer. The only slight drawback is that the sound doesn't open out as much as it might; thus the strings can sound a little under-nourished at times. However, there is plenty of 'punch' when needed. A very fine reading overall.
