Paavo Järvi won raves when he led Brahms’ Second Symphony at New York’s Lincoln Center: “When the music built in urgency, Järvi made its outbursts sudden and awesome, with slashing rhythms and harrowingly great contrasts of volume and tempo,” reported The New Yorker. The acclaimed Brahmsian leads the LA Phil in the composer’s sunny, yet seductive, symphony.
