Thank you so much for this informative interview with awesome conductor Paavo Jarvi. it is wonderful to hear Paavo Jarvi speak about his respectful relationship with his Estonian father whose example influenced Paavo’s future. The Estomian culture is in good hands with Paavo Jarvi.
This ⬆ is why I don’t want to ever miss Living The Classical Life. I did not have a father who was a conductor who saved me years of “discovery.” Or led me to become accustomed to orchestral sounds and sense. NOR did I have about, I suspect, 30-50 famous musicians come through my house. The relationship you quickly establish, Zsolt, brings these deeper experiences for example of Radu Lupu. Estonia. Unbelievable interviews. “Oh that’s what my teacher meant.” A human collective music experience is being transmitted here,. Seriously the feeling is ok, now I have distant relatives I will never meet personally, who are gifted and studied and I see more what my love of musicianship is about. Thank you to both. Now for the Papa!
Wonderful channel and great interviews. When I saw this one I dropped everything. I love this man's work with orchestras. This is a delight. I'll look forward to the interview with his father.
If on time, it will be this upcoming Friday! He is such a character and we think his episode is particularly entertaining and insightful. We hope you will enjoy it! -Zsolt
Very good decision, let's dedicate this awesome episode young Millennials generations that need to discover the beauty of classical music, the joy of living as .. classical creatures indeed, the music as best life matie this affascinating, now that we have TV entertainment self service, let's enjoy the magic together, big loving hug Maestro Paarvi, congrats, giving classical music a new input is always important indeed
Thank you so so much for these words and for watching--we never know who is watching until some wonderful people like you write to us, and it's our hope to try in some small way to make a difference--zsolt
Zsolt, the section on Radu Lupo was tremendous. I saw him several times in Chicago, the most recently with Muti. I add what I learned here to my memory of hearing him play. Your interviews enrich both past and future musical experiences. Thank you!
Living the Classical Life is my go-to channel for Music, #1. It’s so refreshing to see life outside of the United States,- there is life elsewhere! Wish I could travel. Thanks Zsolt!
I like very much your work. It is so rare to “get” as much from the interviewer as from the interviewee. It took me some time to realize you had a “new Chanel” not connected to the former one. But now I am on track. Congratulations for your work again
@@frandrepol7204 yes I think the switch, which was necessary for a few reasons beyond our control, has confused many people alas. It's our hope that people will eventually find their way to this one, where we will be releasing new episodes each Friday at current pace, now that we are with a new production company. We're trying to find new ways to bring stories to you including with new production values--we hope to make a difference--thanks again, zsolt
What an inspirational family of talented musicians. Have been to Parnu several times and know how the local people love their Concert Hall ( even before it became the heart of the festival). Music is certainly a defining feature of the Estonians. Admire the way the maestro Paavo Jarvi works. Several years ago my son was dating an Estonian girl and I jokingly said, ‘Well, ask her if she knows Paavo Jarvi, and if she does not, just stop seeing her)))
We love that story--thanks for sharing it! Yes, the hall is amazing, and also it's incredible to see how it is absolutely packed to capacity during the festival. Thanks for watching!
OK. I studded, in G. Ots music school, with Paavo Jarvy, before they left for USA. He was couple of years younger, playing flute. is it good enough for you to make your son dating me?)))
We are working on including more! On our website at www.classical-life.com you can find our archive where we have featured Lowell Liebermann, Jörg Widmann, John Corigliano, Bruce Adolphe, Matthew Aucoin, and several others. We are so grateful to you for watching and writing--zsolt
Just finished watching the whole interview and it was brilliant. It gave such a powerful sense of history with the talk about the fears of what Russia would do I could do I have a couple questions… I don’t hear that well and I can’t get the name of that pianist you were talking about and also the name of the Estonian composer who went to the United States and got such a great ovation. If someone could please clarify for me? Thank you again and how is it that you’re surpassing yourself with each interview? Generations ahead of us will look back at these pivotal moments. 💐💐💐🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
Thanks so much for this--the composer is Arvo Pärt, whose birthday is in fact today! Incredible music with quite a range. We are so glad you like the new developments with the show--we've been working hard to find new ways to tell stories, and to give it precise thought with regards to each guest. -Zsolt
Esta entrevista con @paavo_jarvi es de una riqueza humana tal, que rebasa con mucho el ámbito de la música o de la dirección de orquesta. Todo mundo puede derivar enseñanzas valiosas. ¡Dénle click en este mismo instante! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much--good eye and ear! We've been working really really hard to bring you stories on the next level with production values and how we tell the narrative. It's the slow movement of Beethoven First--sounds very much indeed like Mozart--and we did film it again! We're so grateful to you for watching and for being in touch--cheers!
We plan the release for one week from today, meaning Friday September 16, assuming all is on schedule. Thanks so much--we hope you will enjoy it--we feel it will be one of our best.
So basically his father was the perfect conducter that avoided all mistakes and gave him all the inside information. So he must be perfect too! What???
хорошее грамотное интервью, скользкая тема о советском детстве, потому что маэстро есть что сказать о, чего он ни за что не скажет.. интересные вещи говорит между строк
Very interesting. Strongly disagree with some of what he said: Russia was not Estonia’s most brutal occupier. The German occupation was far beyond brutal. Every Jewish person who could not leave the country was murdered by Germans, with strong Estonian collaboration. Feel very uneasy with these Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian musicians who claim to have Jewish musicians as friends. Have difficulty understanding how David Oistrakh could have lived happily in his dacha, within that anti-Jewish atmosphere. My apologies for this, but listening to two fairly arrogant Estonian musicians (who are always “right”) in one evening has been a bit much - and I have simply “overflowed.” (I should delete all this, but am not going to do so.)
Thank you so much for sharing-I’ve been trying to examine for example the role of highly visible and magnificent Jewish artists who were promoted by the Soviets, indeed Oistrakh and also my other favorite, Gilels. Hard for me to tell with the sources available to English speakers but I’m still trying to grasp it all. Thanks so much for watching! -zsolt
We can't deny the right of Estonian people to complain about the dangers of "Russification." If they feel that way, so it be. What puzzled me was an almost dismissive enumeration of "Soviets" (!) visiting his father's house. Even more, why are Russian music figures so prominently in their repertoire?
@@ce2167-n1t Surely he wasn't trying to be dismissive about the visitors at their house, other than when he mentioned him as a kid not being interested in "old people" and their musings. He emphasized the SU being behind the iron curtain - meaning that cultural exchange was allowed mostly only inside SU. Western cultural influence was actively being blocked by the communist/kremlin regime (so there could be no visitors from the west by principle). There was plenty of talent in the SU, no reason whatsoever to be dismissive about this. Classical arts was one of the few things regarded highly in the SU, so this was one of the ways to keep small cultures and languages alive during these extremely suppressive times under russian occupation that followed after the end of WWII. The SU was by no means an union of the willing. The Eastern European countries became the front for russia. Literally during the war to be exploited and subjugated into union republics forcefully and illegally under the kremlin rule. Many in the west are just now learning the true history of the eastern Europe during these times, and understandably there is a backreaction to what they have been told by the russifying elites. It's about time to stop romanticizing the socalled russian culture and stare into the eyes of the beast for what it was and still demonstrates to be, blatantly and proudly I might add, for everyone to see in Ukraine. There are no more excuses to believe any of the propaganda and lies that come from russia. You can see this happening in all of the formerly occupied countries by russia. There was a reckoning for the Germans for what they caused during WWII, but there has been no reconing for the russians for their equal part in WWII. This is what we are now telling the world frankly and straight.

Such an interesting interview, thank you. I see you on FaceBook too. 🌷🌷🌷(Netherlands)
Very interesting interview. Thank you!

Great interview. Hope you’ll get to interview some composers along the way.

Thank you so much for watching and for writing to us!
I like the aesthetic changes ! Plus the camera and audio quality seems better ! (And did you re-record the Mozart for the opening ??)
Thanks so much--good eye and ear! We've been working really really hard to bring you stories on the next level with production values and how we tell the narrative. It's the slow movement of Beethoven First--sounds very much indeed like Mozart--and we did film it again! We're so grateful to you for watching and for being in touch--cheers!
When's the Neeme Jarvi interview coming out?
We plan the release for one week from today, meaning Friday September 16, assuming all is on schedule. Thanks so much--we hope you will enjoy it--we feel it will be one of our best.

Thank you for your support Andrea-we look forward to filming you on the series in October in New York!

Perhaps anti-Semitism in Estonia is much less than it was during the first half of the 20th century. We're three generations beyond that period.
