Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich
Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 is “huge, very strange, completely new, bronze individuality. Breathes unparalleled energy from a to z»: This is how the conductor Hans von Bülow rejoiced after a rehearsal of the work. It will now be conducted by Semyon Bychkov, who also has a lot of energy – not only on the podium. In recent months, as a Russian who emigrated in 1975, he has spoken out against the war at every opportunity. When he performs Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in addition to Brahms’ Fourth, it is undoubtedly about more than just music.
