Neeme Järvi has conducted more works by Eduard Tubin than any other conductor. He studied Tubin’s music already in the 1950s and immediately understood its greatness and wealth of meaning. In 1961, when Tubin visited Estonia, Järvi met him personally. From this time, Tubin has been one of the most performed composers in his repertoire.
Tubin highly appreciated Järvi’s interpretations and wrote his Symphony No. 8 with Järvi in mind. It’s first performance took place in Tallinn on 24 February 1967, by the Estonian Radio Symphony Orchestra with Neeme Järvi conducting.
In the 1980s Järvi recorded all of Tubin’s symphonic works on the Swedish BIS label, which brought the breakthrough for Tubin’s music. From year 2000, Järvi is chairman of the honorary presidium of the Eduard Tubin International Society.
