Interview, Paavo Järvi on Mahler

17th March 2025

As he embarks upon a cycle of Mahler’s symphonies with the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich, Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi talks about his early exposure to the composer’s music listening at home to recordings with his father, and how Mahler’s own experience as a conductor helps inform interpreters of his music today.

This recording of Mahler's Fifth Symphony by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich under its Music Director Paavo Jarvi, is the first in a complete cycle of Mahler symphonies. Jarvi has of course conducted Mahler's works many times in his career, but has waited for the right moment to record the complete cycle in the studio: the right moment not only in his life as a musician but also in his relationship with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich; the maturity and power revealed in the orchestra's recordings for Alpha Classics have been hailed by the music press since 2019. "Mahler truly opened up a new universe with the Fifth, in which he initiated an incredibly personal style of music-making." says Paavo Jarvi. "It is the very nature of its opening -- a military funeral -- and of its tragedy, in conjunction with the very idea of beginning a symphony in this way, which signals that something completely different is in store for us".

The horn-playing is indeed rollicking throughout. No complaints either about the tenderly unwrapped Adagietto, which conveys an improvisatory feel and builds to a sonorous climax with throbbing bass line.
