Janine Jansen & Itamar Golan

Hurry to deSingel for what will be the chamber music concert of the season! It’s not every day you can listen to a recital by the violin marvel Janine Jansen. Which will stay with you for the rest of your days. Passion and precision. A refined and above all communicative tone. That is her trade mark. Plus irrepressible energy. Jansen always gives it all she has got. Just like the pianist Itamar Golan. When these two are on stage together, the sparks are bound to fly!
For the occasion Janine Jansen has set her sights on Sergei Prokofiev. Her recording of his Second Violin Concerto pierces to your very core. Jansen tamed this wild Russian with superbly lyrical playing and turned him into a romantic with a delightful voice. Because, apart from being a sarcastic expressionist, he was also a masterly teller of fairy tales in sound. Jansen brings this out too. In his ‘Cinq Mélodies’, Prokofiev shows his most lyrical side. The intensely sorrowful First Violin Sonata, with its consoling slow part, is a miracle of beauty. Come and let Janine Jansen enchant you with her Stradivarius.
