sawylA wonderfully ethereal version of the Prelude from Lohengrin to open and a dazzling performance of Strauss' Alpine Symphony to close. In between a good, crisp version of the Mendelssohn Violin Concert which only left me feeling ambivalent because I've heard the piece many times it's become a bit of cliche.
A nice swansong for Semyon Bychkov, marking his retirement as chief conductor of the WDR SO after 13 years.
