Staggering performance by Janine Janssen ... surely the foremost violinist of the moment. But what I also find really wonderful about this is the sensitive conducting of Paavo Järvi.

Janine is full of wit and energy, as well as impeccable beauty (I've never heard the cadenza played with such virtuosity and delight) and Paavo matching her every move. This is more like a chamber piece - with everyone listening and joining in the fun. Never underestimate this music - it is Tchaikovsky at his inventive best - and this may be the best performance of it I've heard in 45 years of loving it. Wow!

An electrifying performance from Janine; suitably sensitive, full of energy and occasionally drunken (as I think Tchaikovsky intended) but also with great support from the excellent orchestra and conductor. for whom this clearly isn't just another play through. Lots of new ideas here and I loved it. But can I just give a shout out to the wonderful Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, bless him, without whom none of us would be able to share this masterful and underrated concerto.

I couldn't agree more Robert. It's superb in every respect. I never tire of watching it. I've seen videos of Janine's recordings of this with Matthew Harding and while she is as professional and delightful as ever (and actually runs the show), he is a self obsessed clown. No comparison with Järvi.

We know we're in for something special from the moment this performance begins... Jarvi is so sensitive with the opening phrase. Then Janine steps in and plays with such lyrical beauty - it really is lovely. It's also great to see such a connection between soloist and orchestra. It feels as if they are playing chamber music sometimes. All the drunkenness of the Finale and all the gorgeousness of the slow movement are intact. A truly great performance and, for my money, one of the best you'll hear. Tchaikovsky wins again...!

+ComposerInUK You mention drunkenness in every video of this I see. For some reason it irritates me, I don't know why...

[@ComposerInUK]

+The Cat Well, I certainly didn't intend to irritate you! What I want to do is to dispel a myth - that Tchaikovsky didn't have a sense of humour. In this piece (and in so many more) this sense of fun is abundantly clear. But in many other comments and writings I've seen, Tchaikovsky is dismissed as a gloom-monger. By drunken, I intend to convey those initial stages of intoxication when everything seems all right with the world. And I mean it especially in the cadenza of the first movement and in the second subject of the finale. Please, get back to me if you continue to be interested or you don't think I've answered your question... All good wishes

[@eschelar]

+ComposerInUK it's definitely an odd thing to compare this piece to drunkenness... indeed to compare anything to "the stages of drunkenness". This seems like the polar opposite of drunkenness to me. Although I don't think I'd find it irritating, I'd definitely consider your evaluations to be ill-considered if it was anything more than a YT comment and intended to be taken seriously at all.

Janine Jansen is coming to Tokyo very soon to perform this very piece by Tchaikovsky on Friday 9th May at Suntory Hall. The accompanying band will be Boston Symphony Orchestra under Charles Dutoit replacing Lorin Maazel, who has cancelled his long haul flight to Japan owing to "an accident" (with no details of his plight yet given). I bought a ticket for it quite some time ago because I assumed that I'd be able to enjoy Symphonie fantastique in Maazel's unique interpretation. I've already heard Dutoit conduct Philadelphia Orchestra in Suntory Hall, and though I have nothing against him, I had reservations about retaining the ticket as the Japanese promoter is accepting a full refund right now. Well, having heard her play on this footage for nearly 45 minutes, I think I'll attend the concert by all means! Thanks for the upload, hotmifi!

La bravoure et l'expression sont au rendez-vous et que d'émotion et de tendresse dans la mélodie.

This is such a fun piece! Love Janine! She brings the music to life!

To see and listen Janine and the flute plater lady, is like having a walk in Paradise. In fact, I expect to see then in Glory.

Janine Jansen è assoluta! Chissà quante vite di grandi musicisti sono in lei!!!! Anche perchè meditare davanti a 10.000 persone senza mai un momento perdere la calma è una dote di pochissimi da sempre. Una Dea. Grazie Janine.
