The Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi has fortunately become a regular guest with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. For the one-hour-long concert series »Compact Classics«, he now devotes himself to a work by Anton Bruckner that is as familiar as it is surprising: his first ever published symphony!

Old meets new and the familiar meets the strange and fairytale-like in the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra’s 2nd Academy Concert, when the propulsive, youthful freshness of the just-turned-seventeen Mozart meets the relatively unknown Romantic sound of Hamburg-born Ferdinand David. Things take an atmospheric turn with Ralph Vaughan Williams, whose music is a resounding reflection of his origins and homeland in England. Just like Edvard Grieg’s »Peer Gynt« from Norway.

The Baltic states are known in the music scene for having produced some very special talents. The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra now marvels at the artistic work of three Estonians: star conductor Paavo Järvi is returning to perform Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth. In addition, Kalev Kuljus, the celebrated principal oboist of the NDR Elbphilhamonie Orchestra, swaps his place in the orchestra for that of soloist and premieres a new oboe concerto by his compatriot Erkki-Sven Tüür. Sergei Prokofiev’s entertaining suite to the fairytale-like, grotesque opera »The Love for Three Oranges« kicks off this evening full of strong, colourful contrasts.

Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich / Víkingur Ólafsson / Paavo Järvi

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Víkingur Ólafsson (Piano), Paavo Järvi (Conductor)
Brahms times two is the motto this season for the exceptional Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson: after travelling around the world with Bach’s Goldberg Variations, this season he has taken on both of Johannes Brahms’ piano concertos – with different partners at his side. The opening concert with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in November will be followed in March by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and the large-scale symphonic Second Piano Concerto. The orchestra brings Schumann’s »Rhenish« Symphony as a lively addition – a showpiece for the Swiss orchestra and its energetic chief conductor Paavo Järvi. You can hear in the cheerfully flowing sounds of this symphony the motivational boost that the move from Leipzig to Düsseldorf on the Rhine meant for the composer.

The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Veronika Eberle / Paavo Järvi

Wed, Apr 10, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Veronika Eberle (Violin), Paavo Järvi (Conductor)
With great passion and energy, Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen allow audiences to experience the young Schubert in all his unbridled joy of exploration. Schubert already began composing intensively at boarding school in Vienna, and was soon trying his hand at the supreme discipline of the symphony. His First and Second exude a spirited lust for life, and despite the clear influence of great role models such as Haydn and Mozart, it is still possible to hear Schubert’s unique voice coming through. In contrast to the rambunctious atmosphere of those two early works, Brahm’s Violin Concerto is a mature and almost philosophical work. Despite the countless technical difficulties with which Brahms peppered the solo part, the work has been a cornerstone of the concert repertoire ever since it was first performed. Veronika Eberle now takes on the challenge and, after the existential drama of the first movement, really lets the sparks fly in the finale.

Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Akiko Suwanai (Violin), Paavo Järvi (Conductor)
Very different worlds encounter each other in this concert. What luck that the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen is just as well known for its energetic music-making as for its versatility! Together with principal conductor Paavo Järvi, the musicians dive into the humorous and high-energy music of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and between them let violinist Akiko Suwanei shine with the unconventional and dramatic violin concerto by Antonín Dvorák. Probably no other violin concerto has a similarly rousing entry in which orchestra and solo violin immediately begin an impassioned dialogue. The rest of the work is also fascinating with a combination of innovative ideas and catchy Slavic melodies. Compared with this heated world of expression, the music of Haydn acts like a witty conversation among good friends and so forms the elegant start of an evening rich in contrast. The concert ends with the final symphony by Haydn’s friend and artistic rival Mozart. The two of them provided a life-long musical rivalry and motivated each other to top compositional performances. You can hear the results: Mozart’s »Jupiter« Symphony is just brimming with joie de vivre as a result and was even hailed as the »greatest triumph in instrumental composition« in London. What a finale!

The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Janine Jansen / Paavo Järvi

A proven dream team: Paavo Järvi and »his« Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen have blended an intensive artistic collaboration for a long time. They are especially at home at the interface between the classical and the romantic with the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and his successors. At the Hamburg International Music Festival, they are now exclusively pursuing this soundscape. Together with star violinist Janine Jansen, they dive into Beethoven’s monumental violin concerto and present it with an equally ground-breaking symphony by Franz Schubert. Beethoven conceived his violin concerto as an alternative to stark virtuoso pieces without acrobatics or cliched melodies. With its epic scale of just under three quarters of an hour and an aura of philosophical profundity, this work has been spellbinding to this day and presents violinists with the highest demands of musical shaping. In expression, the music penetrates very far into the intensity of romantic worlds of emotions and so builds a bridge to the music of Franz Schubert. Schubert’s »Tragic« does not skimp on dramatic moments, but in the fiery finale ultimately brings itself to a cheerful conclusion.
