Paavo Järvi – The Brahms Symphonies
The Brahms interpretations of Paavo Järvi and his Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen have been receiving the highest public and critical acclaim.
The Brahms interpretations of Paavo Järvi, the Grammy Award-winning Estonian-American conductor, and his Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen have been receiving the highest public and critical acclaim. “A Brahms revelation“ was the headline in The New Yorker, for DIE ZEIT it’s „a reference recording“ and the Hamburger Abendblatt wrote “the greatest experts on Brahms come from Bremen (die besten Brahms-Versteher kommen aus Bremen)“. The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen perform Brahms nowadays exactly to the size that the composer himself was accustomed to at the time. This interpretation puts Brahms’ symphonies in a new light, which is revealed in the additional documentary from the point of view of the musicians.
