Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen

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.
