Episode 3 : Herbert Blomstedt: Brahms, Symphony No. 1
January. 05,2020
We've chosen Brahms' Symphony No. 1 for the last day of this season. His first symphony took Brahms over 20 years from sketches to finishing touches. The masterpiece is the result of serious deliberations he made as he sought to surpass Beethoven, a great composer who left his mark on the history of the symphony, and produce something that would succeed his works. NHK Symphony Orchestra's Honorary Conductor Laureate Herbert Blomstedt took the baton. Enjoy the performance by the maestro and the orchestra who have built a relationship of trust through 30 years' experiences of working together.
Episode 2 : Paavo Järvi: Wagner, The Ring of the Nibelung
January. 04,2020
In this episode, we bring you some of the orchestra music from Der Ring des Nibelungen by Wilhelm Richard Wagner, which is often performed independently. The NHK Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor Paavo Jarvi took the baton. Paavo selected the music himself and performed it in a completely different order from the opera so the music could tell its story on its own. You will hear: The Valkyrie, Ride of the Valkyries, Siegfried, Forest Murmurs, Twilight of the Gods, Siegfried's Death and Funeral March, Dawn and Siegfried's Rhine Journey, The Rhine Gold and Entrance of the Gods in Valhalla. You will know what Paavo was trying to achieve with the performance.

One of the pieces Fabio Luisi—appointed NHKSO's chief conductor in September of this year—chose for his inaugural commemoration performance was Brahms' Symphony No. 2 often referred to as the composer's "pastoral symphony." Here, we offer this brand-new performance to round out the three featured in this series.
