Paavo Järvi: Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik
TobiasA total of ten records have been selected from the flood of CDs on the German market and will be distinguished in a ceremony on November 17th at the museum of music instruments in Berlin. Next to Paavo Järvi, labels like ECM, composers like Luciano Berio and artists like Lars Vogt are among the laureats for the “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik”. The journalists were especially charmed by the decidedly modern touch of the album, which both embraces a contemporary sound and a historically-minded approach: “For the way that The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen plays under its conductor Paavo Järvi sounds historically-accurate and modern in equal measure: thrilling, trim, vivacious.” And: “The tempi, based on Beethoven's original metronome guidelines, also lend this production some additional authenticity.””
For Paavo Järvi, the “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik” comes as yet another sign of recognition in 2007, as he also announced on his blog that he had been chosen as this year’s recipient for the “Cincinnati MacDowell Medal” for those "whose cultural contributions to the arts in the Cincinnati area are deemed most significant."
