Jansen and Kozhukhin

Sat, Apr 5, 2025, 15:00
Janine Jansen (Violin), Denis Kozhukhin (Piano)
With her dazzling technique and natural stage presence, Dutch violinist Janine Jansen has long been among the top tier of international star violinists. Pianist Denis Kozhukhin also combines outstanding technique with mature musicality and an ability to establish a close connection with the audience. They have both previously visited Konserhuset, individually and together.During their acclaimed visit in 2022, they performed, among other pieces, Brahms' third violin sonata. Now, we hear the first two: the "rain sonata," so named because its finale includes a quote from Brahms' own song "Regenlied," and the second, named "Thun" after the town in Switzerland where Brahms spent time when he composed it. There, he was inspired by the beautiful surroundings. "There are so many melodies here that one must be careful not to trample on any of them," he expressed it.Before Ravel's concluding violin sonata with its famous blues movement, we hear Eugène Ysaÿe's sensually dark-toned Poème élégiaque, a milestone in the violin repertoire, and Olivier Messiaen's Thème et variations, which in character resembles his most performed work, Quartet for the End of Time.

James Gaffigan & Janine Jansen

Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 20:00
James Gaffigan (Conductor), Janine Jansen (Violin), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
The tone colors of the strings in William Grant Still’s Mother and Child evoke the lovely flower meadows and the cradling one associates with the tender bonds between mother and child. Dvořák’s American Suite: raw, promising, yearning, impetuous, exciting – a musical depiction of the New World. Bernstein’s Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium) begins with a sighing, exquisitely flowing solo violin line, and with the addition of strings, harp, and percussion, turns into an unconventional, raging mix of styles with a “hint of jazz” at the end. The solo part is entrusted to the exceptional violinist Janine Jansen. Gershwin’s portrait of the French rush hour in An American in Paris concludes the concert. James Gaffigan will be conducting the BRSO for the third time in this very special program, which also promises to be incredibly exciting.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Janine Jansen / Sakari Oramo

Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 11:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Janine Jansen (Violin), Sakari Oramo (Conductor)
As head of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sakari Oramo regularly commutes between the UK and Sweden. He brings works from both countries with him to Hamburg. One is criminally underestimated in Germany and therefore played far too rarely, and another one has never been performed before. However, the programme opens with an excursion to the south: to Giuseppe Verdi and his overture from »La forza del destino«.
