Paavo Jarvi (GRAMMY WINNER 2003 "Best Choral Performance - Best Conductor") (Conductor)
Paavo Järvi’s second season as Chief Conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra
opens on a high when he conducts Mahler’s Symphony No.8 in celebration of the
orchestra’s 90th Anniversary. They will also perform Mahler to celebrate the
30th Anniversary of Suntory Hall and embark on a major European tour in spring
2017 with performances in Berlin, Luxembourg, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Vienna
and Cologne. This season also sees the continuation of a Richard Strauss focus,
with two recordings to be released on Sony Japan.
As Artistic Director of The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Paavo Järvi
and the orchestra return to Asia for performances across Taiwan and Japan in
autumn 2016. Throughout the season they will continue their critically acclaimed
Brahms symphony cycle with performances throughout Germany and Switzerland. The
first recording of the Brahms cycle is released on Sony’s, RCA label in spring
2017. Other highlights include the opening of the Kissinger Sommer Festival, as
part of the orchestra’s residency which begins in 2017.
In summer 2016, Paavo Järvi concluded his highly successful tenure as Music
Director of the Orchestre de Paris and was simultaneously heralded by the French
Critics’ Association as ‘Musical Personality of the Year’. Highlights of his
six-year tenure included conducting the opening concerts of the new Paris
Philhamonie which were recorded for i-Tunes and immediately became an
international bestseller; the Sibelius Medal which was presented to Järvi in
recognition of his achievements in championing the Finnish composer’s music in
France; and the release of his highly acclaimed recording of music by Dutilleux
on the Erato label which received an Echo Klassik Award for contemporary
recording. His complete recording of the Sibelius Symphonies with the Orchestre
de Paris will be released in 2017 on Sony’s RCA label.
Guest engagements see the completion of Paavo Järvi’s extensive Nielsen
Symphony Cycle with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, return visits to the
Wiener Symphoniker, Berlin Staatskapelle and performances with the
Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Budapest Festival Orchestra, and L’Accademia
Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. In spring 2017 Paavo Järvi conducts Don Giovanni at
Milan’s Teatro alla Scala as well as orchestral concerts with the La Scala
orchestra. He also returns to conduct the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, where he is
Conductor Laureate.
The 2016/17 season concludes with a week of performances in mid-July at the
Pärnu Music Festival in Estonia. Founded in 2010 by Paavo Järvi in the charming,
sea-side resort 90 km south of Tallinn, the festival offers both conducting
master-classes and concerts. As a festival celebrating the orchestra at its
heart, Paavo Järvi created a new ensemble which has become the uncontested
highlight of the summer season; the Estonian Festival Orchestra brings together
leading Estonian musicians with soloists from Europe’s top-ranking
orchestras.
Since the start of his career, Paavo Järvi has prioritised his support of
Estonian composers including Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Lepo Sumera and Eduard
Tubin. He is Artistic Adviser to the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and
was named Estonian Public Broadcasting’s 2012 Musician of the Year. In January
2013, Järvi was awarded the Order of the White Star by the President of Estonia
for his outstanding contribution to Estonian Culture. He has won two Grammies:
for his recording of Sibelius’ Cantatas with the Estonian National Symphony
Orchestra, Estonian National Male Choir and Ellerhein Girls Choir; and for
Grieg’s Peer Gynt, with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra.
With an extensive discography, Paavo Järvi’s latest releases are the complete
Nielsen Symphonies with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony on Sony Japan and Elgar and
Walton’s Cello Concertos with Steven Isserlis and the Philharmonia Orchestra on
