Idyllische Helden-, Liebes- und Göttergesänge: Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen mit Trevor Pinnock zu Gast in Hamburg

The French horn is the real winner in Bremen as Ben Goldscheider continues to expand the horn repertoire and bring his instrument to a wider audience. 

Veronika Eberle shows why the Brahms violin concerto is one of the mainstays of the repertory, whereas Paavo Järvi doesn't quite tap into the unique voice of Schubert successfully.

Three Haydn symphonies grace the bill in Järvi's onging project which started in earnest last year in Vienna.

Jump-in concerts can occasionally advance career prospects. Jonathan Bloxham with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen demonstrated the lightness of Mendelssohn in C minor but seriously underplayed the darkness of Schubert in B minor.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of its first performance, Paavo Järvi directs the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in Brahms' Requiem, with the Latvian State Choir and two outstanding soloists.

Aimez-vous Brahms? For anyone who thought they didn’t, this sharp, disciplined band will have made converts.
