Ask a person on the street what his favorite Beethoven symphony is, and he'll likely say the Fifth, or the Ninth. But ask a classical musician, and a surprising number of times you'll hear: The Seventh.
"Here every impetuosity, every longing and ranting of the heart becomes a blissful exuberance of joy." Those effusive words came from the pen of composer Richard Wagner, and he was describing the Symphony No. 7 in A Major, opus 92 by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Maestro Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen will get us off to a good start with the first movement, marked Poco sostenuto - Vivace (slightly sustained - vigorous). And the way they play Ludwig van Beethoven's Seventh Symphony will have you coming back wanting more.
Deutsche Welle and Unitel Classica present Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, recorded at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.
