Symphonic Mastery of the Viennese Classical Period
Surprise effects, astonishing the listener, tickling the ears and savoring amazing details: Joseph Haydn was a master at this. So is the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. And so is Paavo Järvi. The orchestra and its principal conductor have repeatedly demonstrated their unconventional approach to the great symphonists of music history in highly acclaimed concert and CD projects. That they are tackling Haydn is almost overdue. In two symphonic masterpieces, the entire originality of the Viennese classic as well as refreshing Bremen views on it can be explored. In Schumann's Cello Concerto, the classical joie de vivre is nestled with rapturous romanticism and a good shot of virtuosity, which are in the best hands with Sol Gabetta.
