The recordings of Beethoven’s Nine Symphonies collected together here for this 5-disc album – for which Paavo Järvi received the 2010 Echo Klassik Conductor of the Year award – and the orchestra’s live performances of the complete Beethoven symphony cycle in Yokohama, Lanaudière, Paris, Strasbourg, Warsaw, Bonn and Salzburg have received the highest public and critical acclaim. Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen are united by the language of music and a desire to continually develop and improve. The Grammy Award-winning Estonian-American conductor has been the Artistic Director of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen since 2004, during which time this brilliant combination of conductor and orchestra has captivated audiences with its powerful yet nuanced interpretations of classical compositions. Paavo Järvi’s passion for detail and meticulous analysis of musical works and their composers is reflected in the orchestra’s distinctive approach, creating a collaborative relationship that is characterized by energy and vitality.
