A truly sophisticated master conductor, Estonian Neeme Järvi has an incredible CV that has boasted conducting positions all over the world since the early ‘80s. Recordings of his widespread repertoire share his dedication to creating thoroughly compelling moments: His Tchaikovsky (Swan Lake) sees woodwinds rising and falling in whirlwinds of passion, whereas his Strauss II (Newa-Polka) takes on a riveting cadence that carries it through its mighty climax. His work on the music of fellow Estonian Arvo Pärt (Tabula rasa) is sinuous and emotionally astute.
