  • Virtuosity and attentive chamber playing in Janine Jansen, Jean-Yves Thibaudet Carnegie Hall program / New York Classical Review
    Posted At: January 23, 2018 12:00 AM

    One of Carnegie Hall's signature projects is the "Perspectives" series, a chance for guest artists to curate multiple concerts, according to no rules but their own. Often this means a chance to hear a performer advocating for works of personal interest, that might not otherwise be heard. That was very much the case with Janine Jansen's penultimate "Perspectives" concert this season, as she was jo...

  • Janine Jansen - Brahms and Bartok 1 / ArtsHub review
    Posted At: January 30, 2017 12:00 AM

    The first question this recording raised was ‘Why another recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto?'  What is also remarkable here is that the recording is truly exciting with both soloist - Dutch violinist, Janine Jansen and conductor Antonio Pappano working in pretty close to perfect rapport in bringing the very best from each work.  Jansen refers to the conductor encouraging a singing&n...

    Posted At: July 28, 2016 12:00 AM

    So by now you should know that Janine Jansen is one of the best violinists around. But what does she sound like playing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto? Take a look at this video from 2011, in which she and Gustavo Dudamel and his trusty LA Phil totally slay this monster of the violin rep: If you require more of this sort of thing, we direct you towards Classic FM's Full Works Concert.

  • Janine Jansen - Brahms | Bartok / WBAA review
    Posted At: February 10, 2016 12:00 AM

    There are many stories about Brahms Violin Concerto, or I should specify, there are lots of stories about violinists and performing the masterpiece. Once a violinist thought they were hired to play Brahms, where there was no rehearsal with the orchestra, just the concerts – as the soloist had a good relationship with the music director and musical group performing together. Since the compositi...

  • Janine Jansen - Brahms | Bartok / Sinfini Music review
    Posted At: January 19, 2016 12:00 AM

    Jansen and Pappano's partnership is an exciting one, says Harriet Smith, who enjoys a fascinating pairing of concertos, capturing both the musically epic and the intimate. The back of this disc features Pappano and Jansen arm-wrestling. I wouldn't like to speculate who won that tussle, but in these two concertos they're very much on an even footing. In the Brahms, Pappano encourages his S...

  • Janine Jansen - Brahms | Bartok / theguardian review
    Posted At: January 7, 2016 12:00 AM

    Janine Jansen's recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto – a landmark disc for any violinist – is taken live from concerts in Rome with Antonio Pappano and his Santa Cecilia orchestra. Their sound is rich and weighty, the better to support Jansen's interpretation, itself heavyweight yet characteristically mercurial. Jansen's playing glows, and the second theme of the first movement really sing...

    Posted At: March 20, 2015 12:00 AM

    Watching a recent performance on YouTube of the Brahms Violin Concerto by Dutch violinist Janine Jansen, I was struck by the unfailing elegance of her playing. She brought the same qualities to her superb account of the concerto with conductor Daniel Blendulf and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Jansen captured the concerto's dual character of epic nobility and rhapsodic lyricism. She was fearless...

    New York fans of the Dutch violinist Janine Jansen have had it rough in recent years. Illness caused her to bow out of high-profile concerts with the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 2013 and the New York Philharmonic last year. On Tuesday, she was back, in radiant form, with a recital at Zankel Hall alongside the Israeli pianist Itamar Golan, which proved that she is an artist worth the wait. Also wor...
