Semyon Bychkov, conductor

'This is edge-of-the-seat stuff...Bychkov’s attention to detail and his apocalyptic vision set the seal on this outstanding issue, galvanising the assembled multitudes with his magisterial baton. A triumph.' The Sunday Times - Verdi Requiem (WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln, WDR Rundfunkorchester Köln and Teatro Regio) |
'Bychkov's approach was fascinating and original ... [he] created
a tremendous sense of character very, very quickly. What impressed,
besides grand, beautiful playing from every section (whether in massed
or solo passages), was a sense of changeability ... Bychkov's powerful
immediacy and heart-stopping intensity magnetically drew the listener
in'
