Reviews of Gal/Schumann Symphony No.3
…structural genius… contrapuntal mastery…committed performance…splendid sound, warmly recommended… Gramophone
…Woods shows his luminous interpretive vision in the Schumann, which blasts away the cobwebs of the composer’s reputation as a dull, borderline inept, orchestrator. As Schumann’s final of four works in the symphonic idiom, Op. 97 is full of energy and inspiration. Never has the outline of Schumann’s composition been clearer. Woods shapes exemplary phrasing from Orchestra of the Swan; the clarity does not amount to some kind of antiseptic dissection, but something more at the opposite extreme: a new lease on life for a familiar masterwork… Indianapolis Star
…Gal is truly worth rediscovering ; Woods’s recording project for Avie has intrigued and delighted me and I’m only left wanting more… Classic FM Magazine
