TWO TIMES “ORCHESTRA OF THE YEAR” FOR PAAVO JÄRVI, DEUTSCHE KAMMERPHILHARMONIE BREMEN … AND HAYDN!
It’s been a full year of celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of Paavo Järvi’s artistic directorship of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and international accolade for their first release of Haydn’s London Symphonies. It started appropriately in London with the prestigious 2023 Gramophone Award for “Orchestra of the Year” and came full circle in Berlin last weekend with Germany’s Opus Klassik Prize for 2024 “Orchestra of the Year”.
Now Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen are gearing up for more Haydn with the release of Volume 2 of the London Symphonies on RCA Red Seal in November (featuring nos. 94, 95, 98 and 99) and a behind the scenes TV documentary entitled The Haydn Expedition on Deutsche Welle in December.
