The Brahms interpretations of Paavo Järvi, the Grammy Award-winning Estonian-American conductor, and his Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen have been receiving the highest public and critical acclaim. "A Brahms revelation" was the headline in the New Yorker, for the Zeit it's "a reference recording" and the Hamburger Abendblatt wrote "the greatest experts of Brahms come from Bremen (die besten Brahms Versteher kommen aus Bremen)". The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen perform Brahms nowadays exactly to the size that the composer himself was accustomed to at the time. This interpretation puts Brahms´ symphonies in a new light, which is explored in the additional documentary through the eyes of the musicians and their artistic director Paavo Järvi.
