Beethoven Cycle Kammerphilharmonie Bremen

In 2006, conductor and Grammy Award-winner Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen set off on a major adventure: to master all nine Beethoven symphonies in a radical new reading. Järvi’s sensational new approach to these familiar works has won great renown for the orchestra. Their success led to a worldwide tour which included the U.S. and Japan (where the ensemble was ranked among the world’s top ten orchestras), and such prestigious venues as the Salzburg Festival. Wherever they performed, they were acclaimed by the press, who called them ‘the authoritative Beethoven orchestra of our day’. Many consider the Beethoven cycle as ‘without a doubt the best Beethoven in the world’ (Yomiuri Shimbun).
