Biography:
The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen is one of the world's leading orchestras. Estonian star conductor Paavo Järvi has been its artistic director since 2004.
The successes of this artistic collaboration speak for themselves. “The event of the summer,” declared the New York Times in August 2005. For the daily newspaper Die Welt, The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen is “one of the most transparent and sensitive ensembles currently in existence.” And in 2007, The New York Sun praised it as “…the authoritative Beethoven orchestra of our days.” The complete Beethoven symphony cycle at the 2009 Salzburg Festival was the sensation of the festival and was hailed as “a miracle” (Salzburger Nachrichten).
The focus of the collaboration between Paavo Järvi and the orchestra – and thus the basis for these jubilant reviews – is Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies. What might seem like simple routine regularly turns out to be a lively and highly competent reinterpretation of the often-heard works in the concerts. The joint “Beethoven Project”, the performance of all of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies and their recording in the currently leading 5.1 DSD technology, reached its climax in 2009. In addition, the “Schumann Project” has been underway since 2009.
Together with Paavo Järvi and renowned guest conductors and soloists, The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen can be heard at major festivals and concert venues in Germany and abroad. Time and again, the orchestra delights its audiences with its unique and refreshing style of musical interpretation.
On this basis, long-standing and fruitful musical friendships have developed with internationally renowned soloists such as Sabine Meyer, Viktoria Mullova, Heinz Holliger, Olli Mustonen, Hélène Grimaud, Heinrich Schiff, Janine Jansen and Christian Tetzlaff.
The orchestra's repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary music. Collaboration with specialists in the respective genres has been a characteristic feature from the very beginning. Thus, collaboration with Ton Koopman and Trevor Pinnock, for example, is just as natural as that with Heinz Holliger or Pierre Boulez.
