Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Fabian Müller / Paavo Järvi by Haydn, Beethoven, Dg. 10 Des. 2023, De (2023/2023), Director musical Paavo Järvi, Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, Germany

For almost 20 years, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen has formed a musical power couple with its chief conductor Paavo Järvi, who have documented their artistic power in an electrifying recording of the Beethoven symphonies, among other things. With Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 and two of Haydn's late symphonies, Järvi and his orchestral dream team have the perfect playground to show off their combined skills. After he had cast off the corset of a long life as a composer at court, Haydn was twice invited to concert tours in London. Especially for these trips he composed twelve new symphonies full of curiosity, pleasure in jokes and experiments and almost casual perfection. Haydn thus demonstrated why he was the measure of all things for his successors, including Ludwig van Beethoven. In his First Piano Concerto he shows himself very close to the teacher Haydn and with unleashed keys he is pointing far into the future. This gives the young German pianist Fabian Müller a through ball to get involved in the musical competition.
