The Beethoven Project 4/4 | Documentary with Paavo Järvi & The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen

Описание: “The Beethoven Project” is a four-part music documentary which follows the musicians of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and their artistic director and conductor Paavo Järvi as they are preparing to play all nine Beethoven symphonies in just four days at the Beethovenfest in Bonn. The series gives an insight into the musicians' enthusiasm for music – in rehearsal, in concert and behind the scenes.

Part 4 of this music documentary accompanies Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie in the performance of their Beethoven marathon - the culmination of their tireless efforts in the preceding weeks and months.

Each Beethoven symphony has its own unique character. Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen must switch back and forth like chameleons between the different tonal colors of Beethoven's masterpieces. A look behind the scenes of the concerts shows how the conductor and his chamber orchestra prepare themselves physically and mentally for peak performance. It's a rousing project culminating in a brilliant performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which is livestreamed to an audience of 6,000 viewers outside the concert hall.
