The Kristjan Järvi Sound Project spans Järvi’s prolific musical output with an ambitious release schedule over several years. Recordings reflect all of Kristjan Järvi’s activities, from Music Director of MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Gstaad Festival Orchestra, to the Baltic Sea Youth Philharmonic (BYP) and his acclaimed classical-world-hip- hop-jazz group, Absolute Ensemble. The series also showcases Järvi’s collaborations with some of the world’s top artists and composers, including Steve Reich und Arvo Pärt.
As a creative force on today’s music scene, Järvi is known for his innovative classical music programmes and instinctive vision for multi-genre collaborations. The first release on the Kristjan Järvi Sound Project is Balkan Fever, a heady blend of folk-infused orchestral music from the Balkans with western jazz beats. Järvi’s passion for classical music combines with a truly 21st century attitude that cuts across musical and geographical borders.
