‘…I doubt if anyone acquiring this set will be disappointed for Bychkov is a reliable, dynamic and understanding guide to these works and he has something to say about these symphonies. His performances mix attention to detail and a long view in good balance. He is very well served by his players, with whom he clearly has a strong rapport. Their performances are captured in very good, clear sound though I have only listened in conventional format, not SACD. I have enjoyed these performances very much indeed and look forward to listening to them again in the future just for sheer pleasure.’
