Masterpieces Performed by NHK Symphony Orchestra - Season 5 Episode 1 Paavo Järvi: Bruckner, Symphony No. 1 in C minor
Austrian composer Josef Anton Bruckner is said to have created a symphonic style of monumental proportions equivalent to that of a colossal stone structure in architecture. Yet Symphony No. 1 in C minor composed during his early years has a charming light touch reminiscent of an airy place drenched in sunlight. The agility of the NHK Symphony Orchestra as it gradually builds the pace of the performance in perfect response to conductor Paavo Järvi's lithe direction brings out the charm of the composition. Performed in the early summer of 2018 at Shibuya to resounding audience acclaim, this concert is sure to bring a ray of light to all of us hoping for a speedy conclusion to the pandemic. Relish the performance that is the convergence of 3 superb elements: an airy charming music composition, directed by a conductor with a light and modern interpretation, and performed by a symphony orchestra that is more than up to the task.
