  The first in this Brahms symphonic cycle (with Part II to follow next month) sees Semyon Bychkov conducting the WDR-Sinfonieorchester Koln in stirring performances of the first two symphonies.The Symphony said Johannes Brahms is not something one would trifle with these days. Brahms hereby expressed the mindset of a whole generation of composers after Beethoven. With his Ninth Symphony Beethoven had brought the genre to a level of perfection and the general opinion was that it could not be surpassed. However at the age of 43 Brahms rose to the challenge and finally arrived at his own style - a work of great originality.Semyon Beychkov's love and affection for the music of Brahms goes back to the beginnings of his conducting career gathering strength throughout his career. In harmony with the WDR Symphony Orchestra he shows us the depth and the magnificent density of texture and feeling within these symphonies.
