Reviews
Järvis interpretation of Domestica is both genial and sharply characterised, with remarkable playing by the SNO.
Gramophone on Symphonia domestica
Järvis is a strongly characterised, good-natured account… gutsy and committed…
The Penguin Complete Guide on Symphonia domestica
The orchestra plays magnificently, whether in powerful outbursts or lyrical moments of aching beauty like the strings, violin and viola solo in the Grablied… Järvis Strauss series is an important set of recordings that will hold an honoured place alongside Chandos Prokofiev and Bax cycles.
Fanfare on Also sprach Zarathustra
…a sense of joy right to the end…
