"I'm in Beethoven heaven," wrote customer reviewer Prescott Cunningham Moore when the recordings of the Beethoven symphonies with Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen first came onto the market.

He continues, "This is a spectacular Fourth …The adagio is a joy due to Jarvi's crisp rhythms and brisk, but never rushed, tempo, aided by the atmospheric playing of the orchestra."

Sighing and singing, a long, leisurely melody like a song of love, set against an insistent, lilting rhythm: That's how you could describe the second movement, marked Adagio (leisurely), of Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 in B-flat Major, opus 60.

This is music that has led to speculation that Ludwig van Beethoven was having a love affair at the time he composed this. Names have been named, but perhaps more important than the "who" is the "what:" This music certainly seems to prove that Beethoven knew what it felt like to be in love.

Deutsche Welle and Unitel Classica present Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, recorded at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.
