“Mr. Järvi clearly prizes highly charged music making, often at top speed, with thoughtful phrasing and sharply punched accents… these qualities yield refreshing, powerful performances”

- Allan Kozinn, New York Times, March 2009

During his highly successful tenure as Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Järvi has taken the orchestra on greatly acclaimed European tours and will take them to Japan in 2009/10. He is currently in his third season as Music Director of Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and with them has toured China and performed at many major European festivals.
