Rob's Proms Artist of the Week is the Estonian conductor, Paavo J盲rvi. Born into one of the most illustrious musical families in the Northern Hemisphere, J盲rvi - upcoming chief conductor of the Tonhalle Orchester Z眉rich - is among the most compelling conductors on the current performing circuit. His approach combines clarity of vision with dynamism, a heady mix that especially suits key works from the early twentieth century. J盲rvi is currently Artist Director of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen whom he conducts at the 蜜芽传媒 Proms this week, and he's also conducted a number of leading orchestras including the Orchestre de Paris, Budapest Festival Orchestra and Vienna Symphony Orchestra. From J盲rvi's sizeable discography, Rob has chosen his recordings of Bizet with the Orchestre de Paris, Lutos艂awski and Prokofiev with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Shostakovich with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, and Mozart with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
