"The elegance of his phrasing and fertility of his musical imagination is matched by an unerring grasp of sonic architecture. Hours of study ensures that every bar rings true, yet there’s a freshness and spontaneity too. Nothing about a Bychkov performance ever seems set in stone."

Clive Paget, Musical America Worldwide
