Movie Reviews of Brahms - Symphonies No. 3 and 4 / Semyon Bychkov, WDR Sinfonieorchester Koln
Movie Review: A "Must-Have"
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first experience with Bychkov and his orchestra, and I continue to be impressed by his honest music making and their tremendous sound. They are a gem, and while not as highly-rated as the Top 5 in the US, should be given attention.
Bychkov embodies the Musin school of conducting, (as in Ilya Musin, revered conducting pedagoge at the St. Petersburg Conservatory until his death in '99) and these DVD's (I also bought Sym. 1 and 2)are a veritable Masterclass. Other graduates include Yuri Temirkanov and Valery Gergiev, although none of them look anything alike in their conducting--yet, you can see similarities. Also of tremendous interest are the special features documentaries that appear on both--one that follows the WDR while on tour, the other that focuses on Bychkov's life.
Great camera work and sound. No audience, and Bychkov takes all the repeats in the expositions. Very modern-looking dress on the orchestra that gives them a "slick" appearance.
