Information:
“Semyon Bychkov is Shostakovich’s leading orchestral interpreter, and this German band is one of the best, so together they create a winning combination.” – The Independent Nearly two decades in to his Music Directorship of the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln, Semyon Bychkov has enjoyed an enormously fruitful relationship with the celebrated ensemble, including eight critically acclaimed and award-winning recordings for Avie. To paraphrase The Gramophone, Bychkov “had big competition in the Shostakovich stakes” during the composer’s centenary year, but “he smashes past them brilliantly” (Editor’s Choice, Symphony No. 11, AVI-2062). And the critical raves have continued to pour forth for Bychkov's remarkable Shostakovich releases on Avie, which continue with this new recording of the monumental Symphony No.10, coupled with Detlef Glanert's colorful Theatrum Bestiarum.
