A Peek into [Neeme] Jarvi's Future
The always reliable Mark Stryker of the Detroit Free Press, has a lovely piece in the paper today about Paavo's father, Neeme Jarvi, and the transition he's beginning to make as he winds down his long tenure as Music Director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and undertakes a new adventure as Music Director designate of the New Jersey Symphony.
Here's an excerpt from his article: "And [Neeme] Jarvi has begun the Herculean task of preparing the four operas of Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung for the Royal Swedish Opera -- one opera a year beginning in September and culminating with a complete Ring Cycle in 2008.
" 'Right now, he has the entire Ringon his table, which he is studying every day,' says Paavo Jarvi, the fast-rising conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony. 'If doing a Wagner Ring is taking it easy, I'm not sure what that means. And he has so much new and interesting repertoire he wants to do, I don't know how he'll get to it all.
" 'He's not listening to the Beethoven symphonies at home. That's been done. His whole excitement still comes from discovering new things.' "
