Schumann at Pier 2
Schumann as he has never been heard before! This and nothing elsewas the goal of Paavo J?rvi and the Deutsche KammerphilharmonieBremen in the realization of their Schumann project; and according to the press and the audience there?s no doubt that they?ve achieved their aim. After their internationally celebratedBeethoven cycle, this truly unique orchestra and its extraordinaryprincipal conductor have now elaborated their vision of the artistic wealth of the Schumann symphonies.As was to be expected of Paavo J?rvi and the Kammerphilharmonie,this production features not only a simple concert recording.An extensive documentary provides insights into the origin anddevelopment of the project: ?Schumann at Pier2? contains excerpts from rehearsals, comments on the works and their interpretation by Paavo J?rvi, biographical information on Schumann, scenes featuring orchestral musicians (section leaders) demonstrating important passages and providing explanations on various facets ofperformance and interpretation. ?We want to show ourselves as wemake music?, says J?rvi.The concert recording also unfolded in an unconventional manner: in harmony with the ensemble?s pedagogical mission to make classical music accessible to the young the production took place at ?Pier 2?, a former storage building in the port of Bremen that is now used as a club and theater. The orchestra performed before a young audience on a specially designed stage, which also reflects the workshop character of the project.
