Paavo Järvi won raves when he led Brahms’ Second Symphony at New York’s Lincoln Center: “When the music built in urgency, Järvi made its outbursts sudden and awesome, with slashing rhythms and harrowingly great contrasts of volume and tempo,” reported The New Yorker. The acclaimed Brahmsian leads the LA Phil in the composer’s sunny, yet seductive, symphony.
Järvi kicks off the concert withSchumann’s Overture, Scherzo and Finale, filled with the “flush of spring” and the promise of new love, and Beethoven’s brilliant Piano Concerto No. 3—in which the composer puts forward a new path for his music—with Italian pianist Beatrice Rana. Third Coast Review compares her sound to velvet, writing that “Her fingering through the runs and the force she applied in the octave passages was like magic.”
