Brahms: Symphonies - Music Documentary 1/2 | Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen
Paavo Järvi: The Estonian star conductor has rediscovered the four symphonies by Johannes Brahms. The film follows him and the orchestra at rehearsals, in the studio and at concerts and presents the highlights of the romantic masterpieces.
Part 2: • Brahms: Symphonies - M...
Paavo Järvi is principal conductor at both the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo and the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich - but his most intensive collaboration is with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie in Bremen. Their collaborations have already inspired both press and audiences with dazzling interpretations of the symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven and Robert Schumann. Now the conductor and orchestra are focusing exclusively on the four symphonies of Johannes Brahms. "That music - because it is so great - somehow is a soundtrack not only to the time when it was written but it is actually quite a valid soundtrack to our times as well." Järvi says. The charismatic conductor conveys his enthusiasm for the masterpieces and gives important information for understanding them. "There are little hidden codes, which is up to us to figure out what they mean."
The conductor and orchestra take a lot of time to reinterpret these well-known symphonies. "When I conduct Kammerphilharmonie or have conducted them in the last couple of years it’s only been Brahms," he says. "And the focus is so concentrated that it has become a second nature. In fact it’s almost a kind of religious ritual for the orchestra: There is always rehearsal before the concert. It doesn’t matter how many times we have done the piece. And these are the moments where you tweak, you do little things, you fine-tune... It’s a luxury that so few orchestras have." Thus the rehearsals have become a musical laboratory.
The Brahms Code is director Christian Berger’s the third collaboration with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Paavo Järvi. The DW productions "Das Beethoven-Projekt” (2010) and "Schumann at Pier 2" (2012) have already delighted international audiences and won many awards.

I recently discovered a love for classical music, my girlfriend and I saw Brahms No 4 live at our local orchestra, WOW he is now one of my favorite composers, and the live performance was absolutely moving to the point of tears

I congratulate you that YOU have found a life time healer and your companion, Johannes Brahms and his eternal legacy of Great Musics. Please carry on loving him. Bless you.
If Brahms' symphonies have so many secrets, then his two majestic piano concertos would have hidden more undiscovered treasures.
What a treasure trove to have found this. I’ve signed up for their newsletter now.
Both a great listening and learning experience. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment...thank you.
Thank you DW for putting this on KZread. I only get DW news Monday to Friday on a local PBS channel. Brahms is my favorite composer. I visited his house in Baden-Baden, Lichtental in Germany in 1984 which was not far from Robert and Clara Schumann's house.

No. It's a projection of life. It looks like life. It is exactly the same as life. But on a screen. You can look at it. You can touch it. But you will not feel the texture. You will feel the screen. Music is there. It is there. Inevitably. Even if we do nothing. It will still be with us.
Look at 39:39 (and also much earlier) and notice how the chairs and bars in the background look like notes on a score!

39:56 Brahms's father was a bassist, Brahms would fall asleep under the piano while his father performed in groups (in music halls in Hamburg?). I find his basslines to be fascinating, I would love to hear some comments on this especially from the wonderful bassist(s) featured here!

What's the name of the opening song please?
It's interesting that the orchestra members of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen are all shareholders of the company. This is one way an orchestra can become sustainable rather than relying on sovereign funds or corporate donations. What happens in the region where I am is these company/organisations depend on external funds every time there is a crisis, but are badly managed somehow. Nobody really knows what's going on and no one had the proper answer to anything when you try and speak to them. That's probably what happens when they don't feel any responsibility as funds came to easily...

@@DWClassicalMusic it's not a matter of perspective though. It's just general economics and finance knowledge. When a company relies on external funds to bail themselves out without justification, the need for more funds is endless. Only when interest is at stake, will the owners think of ways to be productive and efficient with their finances for sustainability. It's the same way how some countries had economical crashes from badly managed natural resources...
