SUMMARY
....................................................................................................................................................................................
This is the second release in a major series of recordings by Semyon Bychkov and the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln for Avie, following their Avie debut, a Richard Strauss album featuring Ein Heldenleben and Metamorphosen (AV 0017).

Russian-born Bychkov’s affinity with Shostakovich is well documented, his performances and recordings of his compatriot’s works widely acclaimed. This release raises the profile of this internationally-renowned conductor-orchestra team to new heights, and constitutes the first in a series of recordings of Shostakovich’s Symphonies.
