) | Label: CHANDOS Catalog: CHAN 241-44 Format: CD JARVI; SCOTTISH NATIONAL ORCHESTRA; ROYAL SCOTTISH NATIONAL ORCHESTRA; BERGEN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA; LONDON SYMPHONY ORThis year, we celebrate the thirty-year conducting career of Neeme Järvi with Chandos Records, as well as the conductor’s own seventy-fifth birthday. Chandos marks the occasion with this two-disc set of highlights, featuring a varied selection of concert hall rarities and core classics, along with some popular showpieces and examples of Järvi’s championing of Estonian and American music. Järvi has a rare ability to galvanize an orchestra into giving an interpretation of exceptional vigour and drive. Gramophone said of his recently concluded Halvorsen series (from which La Mélancolie and Bojarernes Indtogsmarsch are taken): ‘Järvi finds in the music a drama and pathos that might come as a revelation even to the composer.’  Price: $25.98 |
