“A brilliant performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto… Jansen made every phrase fly… she relished the epic scale of the first movement, the lyrical oasis of the second and the vivid drama of the finale.” The Guardian

The second major Romantic concerto recording for Janine Jansen following her remarkable interpretations of two pillars of Romantic violin repertoire, the Mendelssohn and Bruch concertos.

Jansen has already wowed the world with her performances of Tchaikovsky’s tour de force: “Janine Jansen impressed again in Tchaikovsky's Violin concerto with the technical precision and musical bravura with which she played this beloved repertoire.” NRC Handelsblad

Souvenir d’un lieu cher provides a delightful link to the Concerto recording. The first movement ‘Meditation’ was initially intended as the Concerto slow movement, before it was later replaced by the ‘Canzonetta’.
