Schnéevoigt was a close friend of composer [[Jean Sibelius]] and often performed Sibelius's orchestral music. He discovered the manuscripts of Sibelius's pieces ''[[Lemminkäinen and the Maidens]]'', and ''[[Lemminkäinen in Tuonela]]'' which had been thought lost and gave their first performance [http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,762690,00.html]. He also made the first recording of Sibelius's [[Symphony_No._6_(Sibelius)|Sixth Symphony]].

An official 1963 history of the [[Los Angeles Philharmonic]] described Schnéevoigt as "flaccid," "paunchy," "phlegmatic," and "plodding," with "little or no sense of direction so far as discipline was concerned", and so emotional that he cried when conducting works by Sibelius.
