Description:
Conductor Paavo Järvi has a deep personal connection to the music of his Estonian countryman Arvo Pärt. The composer has been a guest in the Järvi household and even dedicated a symphony to Järvi's father. No one plays his gorgeous and haunting music quite like this conductor and orchestra.
