His style has generally been linked to neo-classicism, divulging the influence of Stravinsky, Bartok, and Hindemith. Yet his music is highly individual, exhibiting a mastery of instrumentation, imagination, rhythmic energy, and a deft sense for drama. Though he was a late bloomer, not least because of the exigencies of World War II, he began turning out compositions from about 1951 and received his first important conducting post in 1958, at the Royal Danish Ballet. In 1974 Schmidt drew critical acclaim, not to mention broad international notice, when he became the first conductor to record a cycle of the Carl Nielsen symphonies.\u003c\/em\u003e' -Robert Cummings\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Sales America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46969173901606,"sku":"9788759860113","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009788759860113.jpg?v=1697522493","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/schmidt-o-suite-op-21","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
