최후의 교향곡이 된 제 9번은 뉴욕의 내셔널 음악원 원장으로 초청받아 미국에서 머무르고 있던 시대의 걸작이다. 수많은 낭만파 교향곡 중에서도 가장 유명한 명곡이다. 전편에 흐르는 아름다운 선율이 인상적인데, 그 속에는 신세계 미국에 대한 공감과 함께 고향 보헤미아에 대한 향수가 농도짙게 표현되고 있다.
신세계에서 란 타이틀은 물론 아메리카 신대륙을 가리킨다. 그러나 표제음악에 걸맞게 신대륙의 풍물을 그린 작품은 아니다. 흑인 영가나 인디언의 선율 등이 교묘하게 인용되고 있으나 어느 것도 그대로 인용된 것은 없고 작곡가 나름대로 소화해서 썼다는 점이 특징이다.
초연은 1893년 12월 15일 작곡자 자신이 참석한 가운데 자이들(Anton Seidl)지휘, 뉴욕 필하모니에 의해서 이루어 졌다.

<Neeme Järvi> Biography
Born: June 7, 1937 in Tallinn, Estonia
Genre: Classical
Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s
Neeme Järvi was one of the busiest stars on the international conducting scene. Brought up within the USSR's system for developing musical talent, Järvi studied percussion and conducting at the Tallinn Music School. He made his debut as a conductor at age 18. From 1955 to 1960 he pursued further studies at the Leningrad Conservatory, where his principal teachers were Nikolaï Rabinovich and Yevgeny Mravinsky.
From the early '60s, Järvi took a leading role in the musical life of his homeland. In 1963 he assumed the directorship of the Estonian Radio & Television Orchestra, his first important post. He also founded the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, and for 13 years, was the chief conductor of Opera House Estonia in Tallinn. From 1976 to 1980 he was chief conductor and artistic director of the Estonian State Symphony Orchestra, then in its infancy. By the late 1970s his fame had spread throughout the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and he received favorable notices for his appearances in the West. He made history by leading the first performances of Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier and Gershwin's Porgy and Bess ever given in the USSR.
While with the ESSO, Järvi developed a particular interest in unearthing and performing neglected repertory by both little-known and important composers. He was a particular champion of the Estonian composers Eduard Tubin and Arvo Pärt. In 1979 he premiered Pärt's Credo, a work that represents a turning point in that composer's stylistic evolution. Järvi, recognizing the importance of Credo (which incorporates biblical texts), presented it without first navigating through the usual channels of the Communist Party or the Composers' Union. The resulting controversy and official disfavor induced Järvi to emigrate. He was permitted to leave Estonia in 1980; within a month of his departure, he made his debut performances with the Boston Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. He quickly received important appointments: principal guest conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in England (1981-1983), music director of the Royal Scottish Orchestra (1984-1988), music director of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (Sweden, 1982-2004), and principal guest conductor of the Japan Philharmonic.
In 1990, he assumed the post of music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. With that ensemble, he made 30 of some 150 recordings on the Chandos label. Järvi has also recorded for BIS, Deutsche Grammophon, and Orfeo; his various recording projects include cycles of orchestral music by Sibelius, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Tubin, Brahms, Schumann, Shostakovich, and others. Järvi announced his decision to step down from his Detroit post in 2005. He has also served as principal conductor of the New Jersey Symphony, and accepted music director positions with the Resident Orchestra of the Hague and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande for 2012.
Järvi's children have made their mark on the musical world as well: son Paavo is gaining an international reputation as a conductor and holds posts with the Orchestre de Paris and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra; Kristjan is the founder and conductor of the Absolut Ensemble of New York City, and daughter Maarika was principal flutist with the RTVE Symphony Orchestra in Madrid., Rovi. |
