On 1 and 2 July the orchestra from Bremen will perform all of Brahms’ symphonies under the baton of Paavo Järvi at the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre.
Marking the thirty-fifth anniversary of its establishment this year, in its performances the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen combines the age-old traditions of the German orchestral school with incredible freshness and pliancy of sound. The orchestra’s repertoire is based on works by the great German classics – Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann. Having headed the orchestra since 2004, Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi – a representative of a renowned musical family along with his father Neeme and younger brother Kristjan – has frequently appeared in St Petersburg, including with the Mariinsky Orchestra. Under Järvi’s baton the orchestra has produced significant results; it tours across the globe and its recordings of symphonies by Beethoven and Schumann have received prestigious international awards. The interpretations of Paavo Järvi, who this year was appointed Principal Conductor of the NHK Orchestra in Tokyo, are always well-considered and refined to the most subtle degree. During their last visit to the Stars of the White Nights festival in 2011 the German musicians performed all of Schumann’s symphonies, staggering audiences with the unexpected nature of their interpretations of familiar scores, literally freeing them of “retouching”.
