Viennese jewels I

2nd Hansa I Subscription Concert

Works by Schubert, Mozart and Haydn

Five concerts – dedicated to the First Viennese School. To lessen the impact of the charge, the first part is scheduled for March, the second for November. At centre stage are the five Mozart violin concertos with Christian Tetzlaff. He, ever the fastidious experimenter, had already recorded these works with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen back in the mid-1990s. Now, at the invitation of the renowned Wiener Musikverein, he is again dedicating himself to these pearls of the violin repertoire. In 2018, Tetzlaff will present these works in Vienna together with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie and Paavo Järvi. Bremen subscribers will not have to make the trip to the Danube metropolis to hear them, however. They will have the opportunity to hear the cycle right on their own doorstep. The Mozart concertos will be flanked by symphonies by Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert – it doesn’t get more Viennese than this. Particularly avid Mozart, violin or Tetzlaff fans can therefore compile their own cycle of all the Mozart violin concertos in 2018 – at the same time as securing their tickets for the other subscription concerts.

Conductor

Paavo Järvi

Estonian conductor and Grammy Award winner Paavo Järvi has been Artistic Director of The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, his only German orchestra, since 2004. One highlight of the collaboration were the celebrated concerts of the Beethoven cycle, which received critical acclaim worldwide. Järvi received numerous awards for the recordings, including the ›Echo Klassik‹ as ›Conductor of the Year‹ and the prestigious ›Annual Prize of the German Record Critics‹.

Following the Beethoven project, he and the orchestra tackled the symphonic works of Schumann and Brahms, which received similarly enthusiastic reviews. Paavo Järvi is also Principal Conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra, Artistic Advisor to the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and the Järvi Summer Festival in Pärnu, Estonia, and since 2019/20 Artistic Director of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. He regularly makes appearances as guest conductor with orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic orchestras, the Staatskappelle Dresden and the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago and the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. In 2015, he was named ›Artist of the Year‹ by the renowned British magazine Gramophone and the French magazine Diapason. In 2019, he received the ›Opus Klassik‹ as ›Conductor of the Year‹.

Violin

Christian Tetzlaff

Christian Tetzlaff has been one of the most sought-after violinists for many years. His concerts are often an existential experience for performer and audiences alike. Old, familiar pieces suddenly appear in a completely new light. Tetzlaff cultivates an unusually broad repertoire, drawing attention on the one hand to neglected masterpieces while at the same time championing major contemporary compositions. Tetzlaff regularly performs with today’s leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw Orchestra and all the major London orchestras. He was Artist in Residence at the Berlin Philharmoniker and, for the 2022/23 season, Artist in Residence at the London Symphony Orchestra.

Previously, this violinist has worked with legendary maestri such as Sergiu Celibidache, Bernard Haitink, Lorin Maazel and Kurt Masur as well as more recently with Paavo Järvi, Barbara Hannigan, Andris Nelsons and Sir Simon Rattle, to name but a few. For his CD recordings, Christian Tetzlaff has won numerous prizes including the annual Deutsche Schallplattenkritik in 2018, the Midem Classical award in 2017 and the Diapason d’or. In 1994, Christian Tetzlaff and his sister Tanja founded their own string quartet and to this day, he is as passionate about chamber music as he is about his solo work. For many years, this extraordinary musician has enjoyed a close friendship with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
