Things get progressively more exciting and distinctive in the later symphonies. ... No. 6 receives a colourful, less doomy performance than usual, with an exquisite Alpine interlude in the first movement’s development section. Bychkov places the scherzo second, always a plus in my book, and the huge finale is both exciting and coherent. ... Symphony No. 7 might be the best thing in this set, Bychkov’s reading well-paced and magnificently played. ... I’ve long struggled with Symphony No. 8 but Bychkov’s big-hearted, spectacular performance needs to be heard. You really can hear everything, passages like the first movement coda jaw-dropping in terms of sonic impact.
The Seventh is notoriously problematic, but Bychkov’s meticulous reading is remarkably convincing. ... The Eighth symphony, strongly cast and superbly recorded, is one of the finest in the catalogue. ... The architectural arc of the Ninth is deftly realised... The playing of the Czech Philharmonic, especially the woodwind, is unimpeachable throughout.
