Tchaikovsky by Janine Jansen & Friends - Souvenir de Florence

[@loubob0511]

Does Janine ever get goosebumps from her own playing? holy crap

[@karenbenjey1]

Yes, there are moments where you ascend to heaven and it's inscrutable, but a feeling of nirvana...

No. Her jaw doesn't drop the the floor when she looks in the mirror, either.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

You have to believe that Janine's career as a violin soloist really exists only to support her commitment to music like this. I've loved watching her for years and one thing that has always come across in those many performances is her engagement with members of the orchestra. In chamber music that is all that matters. This is exquisite. Janine is a joy!

Janine should record more Tchaikovsky works. Her interpretation's so breathtaking

[@pakasit1812]

Had Tchaikovsky lived long enough to attend this rendition, I'm sure he would say..."this is what I meant to speak in this sextet". Thanks Janine and all your friends. You guys are great!!!!!!

I think Ms. Jansen was born to play music like this - big and brilliant. This is a really nice performance of a horrifically difficult but gorgeous work.

[@greghudon4696]

Everything changes dramatically when a world class violinist like Jensen is at the lead. Breathtakingly gorgeous. She is also gorgeous

Wood tailpiece with fine tuners, never again that problem

[@ninjaturtle3525]

Can we just take a moment to admire how in tune they are at 34:28? Most people are too tired at this point/have given up but this group is so impeccable with their tuning - it's astounding.

[@tomboyer5608]

If you've played a lot of chamber music, at this point fatigue isn't a factor at all. You're floating on a sea of adrenaline. Especially when you get to play with great musicians, you all feed off each other emotionally. There is an indescribable joy and thrill, which you can see on all their faces. You study and practice for 25 years for moments like this. If anything, the difficulty is to keep your passions under control and continue to play sensitively (yes, even in loud passages) and in complete control of your instrument.

[@AlexYoungZ]

Keep tuning the instrument while playing 😂 see 21:37

[@gurthbruins6411]

No superlatives can do this performance justice. It is just beyond everything. Magical, hypnotic, brilliant, astounding, beautiful, a composition and performance by geniuses.

[@thesilvershining]

The second movement makes me sob ever since the first time I heard it 20 years ago. So heartbreaking. They play it so beautifully and passionately 😭

[@klausschumacher8673]

The best chamber music video in KZbin. Janine Jansen with extra-terrestrial energy - and next to her another of the best players around... Simply WOW !

[@klausschumacher8673]

You have a better one ? I'd love to see it.

[@cmw9876]

I'm addicted to Vivaldi's Four Seasons but it is Jansen after all.

[@guilhermecaldas7358]

This video is the DEFINITION of chamber music, 6 soloists together, making music with so much fire and passion... no words for that!

[@MrsSedley]

Yes, Mr Schumacher, I'll second that. The thing to put in front of anyone who thinks he/she can't/won't 'get' chamber music. How the hell is that there are over a hundred 'thumbs down' here?

[@barbarakamholz4693]

Yes, Vilde Frang is a very underappreciated violinist

[@SebWilkes]

The way that was played made it seem like a Violin Concerto. Amazing talent and great fun to listen to

[@peter-lg6os]

Surely the most charismatic and energetic violin virtuoso on the circuit today. There are violin compositions that have never found favour with me during my lifetime but when she plays them, i watch, listen and learn. Her enthusiasm overflows and she clearly loves playing chamber/ensemble works.

[@ffbossy]

Alleen muzikanten beseffen dat je echt heel veel moet studeren om deze graat van perfectie te bereiken. Mijn complimenten geweldige uitvoering.👍

[@kevinwilson124]

Tchaikovsky was a pure genius!!! I cannot fathom how divine his works are!

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Indeed.

[@michaelpaulsmith4619]

A true masterpiece and a performance that I'll return to again and again. I have a soft spot for the 3rd movement with all its Russianness and quiet melancholy. My favourite performance of a work I've loved for more than 50 years - there's no greater compliment than that! Thank you for giving us all the chance to enjoy it.

[@georgecarter9544]

Arguably the best live chamber music performance of any piece ever! Beyond belief! Janine Jansen's command of artistic impression is unlike anything I have ever heard.

[@howardchasnoff208]

agree

[@howardchasnoff208]

This is my first hearing of this piece. It is remarkable. It's similar to the piano trio. where Tchaikovsky gives us one melody after another- each melody growing out of the one that came before. Tchaikovsky was a genius. He can turn schmaltz into profound pathos. How about that first violist!

[@fisheatsyourhead]

@@howardchasnoff208 Tchaikovsky is a master of counterpoint! love his melodic lines how they interwieve and mingle like old friends talking.

[@havardrivansson7902]

Nonsense.

[@mushinjedi6526]

This is life, B. I was put here on this planet to experience this moment of musical profundity.

[@MrsSedley]

Thought the comments might be overdoing it a bit - until I watched and listened. This is one I'd love to have heard live. Truly great.

[@AlexandraRoedder]

Can we give the second violinist some credit for being perfectly there and supportive the entire time? She was fantastic!

[@patrickguillouard2386]

Absolument d'accord avec vous, Alexandra Roedder. Vilde Frang n'allait pas tarder à émerger comme la grande violoniste que nous aimons tant aussi. Merci de votre avis partagé.

[@abe_48]

Janine Jansen is phenomenal in performing Tchaikovsky. It seems to me she is passionately into the spirit of Tchaikovsky music perhaps more than any other violin virtuoso that I have listened to. Her performance of Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with conductor Paavo Järvi and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is outstanding.

[@michealmccann9428]

12:30 when she sustains that harmonic / or else another play dovetails with the same note: so astoundingly beautiful

[@a.karatas953]

I love all interpretations of her, but the best interpretations she does together with her friends and own orchestra. Vivialdis 4 seasons of her and her orchestra is the best 4 seasons i ve ever heard. It its so modern and full of energy, it is violin rock and punk.

[@watkinder8288]

Wow! The loose bow hairs just a small token of your total passion and consummate musicianship. Not enough space to mention all the wonderful things about your performance. A great sextet is a very hard work to compose and also to play well, but you did its composer proud.

[@omarvazquez2359]

chamber is always best played amongst friends! i think for me this is the definitive recording of the Souvenir, just masterful.

[@ralphberney7768]

Janine Jansen plays like a demon relishing the creative spontaneity and vivacity of Tchaikovsky, with her fine friends no less on song in this-these- explosive outbursts of brilliance, that not so much fade, as pause, to fold into a sonorous change of mood, simply put the most beautiful of melodies , and those wild, yet profound escapades: his quite magnificent and deeply humane , as well as musically supreme, trade marks of genius.

[@maxtruluck5197]

[@tomboyer5608]

Julian Rachlin's solo (viola) at the start of movement 3 at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKbPfHh5ppmlbJI is so lovely and interesting. And there's a wonderful moment of levity when he realizes his open C string is a little bit out of tune and he quickly fixes it while playing the note.

[@EricMcDowellegm]

[@tomboyer4115]

What a performance! That third movement is just to die for. This isn't just the best performance on KZbin, this beats any recording out there except maybe Sarah Chang's. It's an all-star group, Power and Rachlin are great musicians, Vilda Frang is one of the best young violinists in Europe ..... That 2nd violin part in this piece is really hard, in some ways more difficult than the 1st. It's a bunch of soloists and yet they all play with such care for each other, it really does look like friends in the living room enjoying a nice chamber music read.
