BRITTEN/YOUNG PERSONS GUIDE/JARVI/CINCINNATI SYM ORC (HYBRID SACD)

Paavo Järvi and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra have created another unique recording for Telarc by combining two great British composers, Sir Edward Elgar and Benjamin Britten, in a dynamic performance.
“This recording pays tribute to three of Britain’s greatest composers—not only Elgar and Britten, but also Henry Purcell, who appears in The Young Person’s Guide as an inspiration from the past,” says Maestro Jarvi. “My hope is that by having their voices together on one disc, you will enjoy hearing the dialogue between these giants of British music.”

“Paavo was an absolute gem to work with,” says producer Elaine Martone, who took the reins when long-time CSO producer Robert Woods was sidelined from the project by an ankle injury just prior to the start of the recording sessions. “Paavo Järvi is a brilliant man with a wonderful sense of the line of the music. He brings out the inner parts, illuminating them so they shine.” Despite the last-minute producer change, “the sessions went smoothly,” says Martone. “The orchestra played the difficult Britten and Elgar music with virtuosity, and Paavo shaped and guided it all with a sure hand.”
