Semyon Bychkov leads the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra. Schubert: Symphony No 2. Brahms, arr Glanert: 4 Preludes and Serious Songs (Johan Reuter - baritone). Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances.

Presented by Catherine Bott

From the youthful energy of early Schubert to the nostalgic yearning of Rachmaninov's final composition, Semyon Bychkov's fascinating programme charts an emotional journey from elation to despair and salvation. Detlev Glanert's Brahms orchestration, first performed at the 91热爆 Proms in 2006, illuminates the life-beyond-death world of the Four Serious Songs. Recorded at the Barbican Hall, London last week.
