There is a much more informative biographical sketch on a website dealing with Swiss music by someone called Naf. Schmid's later career included an important appointment with the Beromunster Radio Orchestra, not mentioned here. His main guest conductor with the Tonhalle was Rosbaud. His work as guest conductor with the Halle and the BBC I remember well. It was solid and precise in the intellectual German style we knew from Klemperer and Bohm, but with livelier tempi. British orchestras played very well for him. It may perhaps be that after the arrival of Boulez on the British scene, he was pushed into the background there. Naf's list of his contemporaries in Schoenberg's class in the early 1930s included Skalkottas, and it would appear his compositions were taken extremely seriously by Schoenberg and his pupils, though the rise to power of the Nazis in 1933 deprived them of opportunities to be heard in Germany.94.192.64.37 (talk) 13:05, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
