About

Janine Jansen has gained a worldwide critical following for her fresh look at the pillars of core violin repertoire, and her intense and lyrical approach to the music. After the successful Vivaldi Four Seasons recording (which was a bestseller on iTunes causing one publication to dub Janine `Queen of the Download'), Jansen presents her first major concerto album.

The recording, conducted by Riccardo Chailly, has strong historical and musical connections - the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchester was conducted by Mendelssohn for many years and the group premiered his concerto in 1844. The recording also presents a real discovery, the Romance for Viola & Orchestra, with Janine recorded on disc on viola for the first time.

`If one had to evoke the Dutch violinist Janine Jansen in a word, it would be energy.' - The Times

`...fresh, energetic, thoughtful musicmaking.' - The New York Times

`Her interpretations seem to flow as naturally from the heart of the music as water from a spring.' - The Times
