"Vladimir Golschmann was an ardent advocate for Barber's music and his interpretations here of everything from the charming Serenade for string orchestra through the passionate Music for a Scene from Shelley and the dramatic Second Essay for Orchestra to the ironic chamber opera A Hand of Bridge are wholly convincing. The Symphony of the Air, the then-current nom de musique of what was once the RCA Symphony, was a tough and powerful ensemble and it willingly gave everything it had to Barber's lushly scored music. (...) Vladimir Golschmann was an ardent advocate for Barber's music and his interpretations here of everything from the charming Serenade for string orchestra through the passionate Music for a Scene from Shelley and the dramatic Second Essay for Orchestra to the ironic chamber opera A Hand of Bridge are wholly convincing."
