Beethoven: Symphonies Nos.2 & 6 'Pastoral'
Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Paavo Järvi
[ Sony / Hybrid SACD ]
Release Date: Monday 5 October 2009
Grammy Award-winning conductor Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen continue their spectacular Beethoven cycle on RCA Red Seal with the release of Beethoven's Symphonies Nos. 6 and 2. The cycle will be completed in January 2010 with the release of Symphony No.9.
Järvi's conducting career is going from strength to strength; as well as being Artistic Director of the Deutsch Kammerphilharmonie Bremen; Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Music Director of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, he is also the newly-named Music Director of L'Orchestre de Paris (beginning in 2010).
"This is a quite wonderful disc, in which every demand one might have on a performance of these two great works is met… The warmth and tenderness and ease which are the predominant features of the Pastoral have rarely been more affectionately attended… The Second, which can be hard to bring off, is ebullient, high-spirited without being exhausting, and with an idyllically smooth slow movement at its heart. The German Chamber Philharmonic Bremen is a versatile orchestra, able to meet the demands of its conductor." BBC Music Five Stars
