Neeme Jarvi

  • Neeme Järvi uncovers Estonian treasures

    Jun 9th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arthur Kapp, Artur Lemba, CD Review, Chandos, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Mihkel Lüdig, Mihkel Poll, Neeme Jarvi, Noteworthy Release, Triin Ruubel

    I first discovered Estonia’s rich classical music heritage through Neeme Järvi recordings; specifically, his BIS releases of Edvard Tubin and Arvo Pärt. Maestro Järvi surprises me once again with this new recording of Estonian orchestral music. All three composers were born within an eight-year span (1878-1885), and all studied at the St. Petersberg Conservatoire. That […]

  • Shelest and Järvi make the most of Rubinstein concertos

    Apr 16th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anna Shelest, Anton Rubinstein, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Neeme Jarvi, Romantic period, Sorel

    In the 19th Century Russia, one composer towered over the rest. It wasn’t Tchaikovsky, any member of the Might Five. It was Anton Rubinstein. Rubinstein was prolific, and one of the first to assimilate Western musical tradition into Russian composition. Rubinstein was a piano virtuoso (among other talents), and his five piano concertos were the […]

  • Atterberg symphonies romantic and visionary

    Dec 28th, 2016 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anna Larsson, CD Review, Chandos, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Gothenburg Symphony Chorus, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Kurt Atterberg, Neeme Jarvi, Olle Persson, Orchestral music, SACD

    The fifth and final installment of Neeme Järvi’s traversal of Kurt Atterberg symphonies is out. And it presents two works that stand in stark contrast. Atterberg’s 1942 “Sinfonia romantica,” is sunny, lyrical, and light-hearted, while the “Sinfonia visionaria” is a thickly-textured study of Nordic gloom. Atterberg’s Symphony No. 7 was written in reaction to what […]

  • Neeme Järvi conducts Jacques Ibert: sumptuous

    Sep 7th, 2016 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chandos, contemporary classical music, Jacques Ibert, Neeme Jarvi, Orchestral music, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, SACD

    There’s a reason Chandos released this in the SACD format. Neeme Järvi and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande perform Ibert’s orchestral works with sympathy and panache — and subtle inflection. And that means every sonic detail is important. As recorded by Chandos, the orchestra, performing in Victoria Hall, Geneva, has a rich, seamless ensemble […]

    Sharon Bezaly Presents Solid Program of Flute Concertos

    Jan 6th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: BIS, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Neeme Jarvi, Residentie Orkest Den Haag, SACD, Sharon Bezaly

    Sharon Bezaly has been steadily gaining attention in the classical world, and this recording simply adds to her reputation. Bezaly plays with a very clear, pure tone that’s well-suited to the material in this collection. Her command of the flute is exemplary. She maintains control in the extremes of the upper register, keeping the sound […]
