Tight, colorful, precise

The Kammerphilharmonie Bremen is perhaps currently the orchestra with one of the most intense experiences in the interpretation of the Beethoven symphonies. Again and again, the entire cycle is played, so at the Salzburg Festival and the Bonn Beethoven Festival.

Slowly the cycle on CD completed.

Why more shots?

. A classic friend "recordings that are based on Beethoven's metronome markings, there for about 30 years (Gielen's recording of the" Eroica "by October 1980 is likely one of the first to have been); one takes René Leibowitz (of 1961 all Beethoven symphonies recorded ) or, for example, Carl Schur Report Creation interpretation of the "Eroica" with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra from 1941 added, it can be seen that there is a long tradition, "enttitanisieren" Beethoven.

Also, there is not a "sensation" more, Beethoven playing at a reduced orchestra strength. Early 90s took the German Chamber Philharmonic Bremen under Heinrich Schiff, the first four symphonies of Beethoven and is likely to be at that time occurred in a similar occupation as Järvi: In Beethoven's 5th eight first violins, seven second, five violas, five cellos, three double basses = 28 Strings and three flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, three bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones and a bass drum, for a total of 44 Orchestermitglieder.Was so Järvis Beethoven's so worth listening to? Why should someone who eg Gardiner, Zinman, Norrington and Harnoncourt known as Beethoven-conductors and estimates another (2/3) cycle buy? Even the new Bärenreiter edition spreads. UA Zinman, Hugh Wolff and Abbado (Berlin Philharmonic) followed her. "And gives the answer:" Järvi big plus for me is that it was precisely the color of druch always in top form, an immense orchestra voltage is generated for .... me to the best of what there is to buy about Beethoven. "

The new CD brings the strengths of Kammerphilharmonie hervor.Hohe precision, great transparency and color. The Pastoral is it indeed an ideal field of application. The description of the state of nature, the menacing storm. Ideal implemented by the Chamber Philharmonic with conductor Järvi.

The small symphonies are smaller ensembles already very good. From the second symphony there since Norrington times in the eighties again very convincing Up, lately from Antonini with the Basel Orchestra. The inclusion of Järvi heard it's no surprise it.

Listening and anschaffenswert this recording, however, because of the Pastoral. Simply fascinierend how the interpretation is the result of a deep penetration of this work and us completely convincing result can be imagined.
