In 2012, we celebrate the thirty-year conducting career of Neeme Jervi with Chandos Records, as well as the conductor's own seventy-fifth birthday. Chandos marks the occasion with this two-disc set of highlights, featuring a varied selection of concert hall rarities and core classics, along with some popular showpieces and examples of Jervi's championing of Estonian and American music. Jervi has a rare ability to galvanize an orchestra into giving an interpretation of exceptional vigor and drive. Gramophone said of his recently concluded Halvorsen series (from which La Melancolie and Bojarernes Indtogsmarsch are taken): 'Jervi finds in the music a drama and pathos that might come as a revelation even to the composer.'
