The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Neeme Järvi have formed a relationship unique in the musical world of today. It began in 1980 and in 1982 was formalized when Järvi became principal conductor of the orchestra – a post which he has held ever since. 22 years later the love story between Järvi and the GSO enters a new phase. Ending his final season as principal conductor in 2004, Järvi will continue to visit ‘his’ orchestra – now as Emeritus Principal Conductor.
Over the years the team has recorded some 30 discs for BIS. Some of these recordings have been collected on the 5-cd set 'Five Nordic Masters'. Included is also Eduard Tubin’s 10th Symphony, commissioned by the GSO in 1973, in a much acclaimed interpretation by Järvi, who has been a never-tiring champion of this great composer’s cause.
