Sibelius - Prokofiev 1 - Violin Concertos: CD

“Jansen’s first concerto recording in nine years is worth the wait, not least thanks to her obvious rapport with the conductor Klaus Mäkelä.” - The Guardian ★★★★★

“From her opening note in Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, the Dutch violinist grabs our ears and never lets them go.” - The Times ★★★★

“The finely crafted collaboration between Janine Jansen and Klaus Mäkelä is simply sensational.” - De Volkskrant ★★★★★

Janine Jansen releases her first concerto album in nine years, pairing the iconic Violin Concertos of Sibelius & Prokofiev. Janine is joined by Klaus Mäkelä and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra for this album, forming the ultimate classical dream team. “The highlight of the program was the Sibelius Violin Concerto, in the hands of the Dutch Janine Jansen…  Jansen and Mäkelä recorded this concert together last summer… and it promises to be a true reference, based on what was heard in Oslo.” - Platea
