The second major Romantic concerto recording for Janine Jansen following her remarkable interpretations of two pillars of Romantic violin repertoire, the Mendelssohn and Bruch concertos.
Jansen has already wowed the world with her performances of Tchaikovsky’s tour de force: “Janine Jansen impressed again in Tchaikovsky's Violin concerto with the technical precision and musical bravura with which she played this beloved repertoire.” NRC Handelsblad
Souvenir d’un lieu cher provides a delightful link to the Concerto recording. The first movement ‘Meditation’ was initially intended as the Concerto slow movement, before it was later replaced by the ‘Canzonetta’.

“Poised, intelligent and remarkably pure of intonation for a live performance, Janine Jansen's Tchaikovsky certainly knows its own mind. What's truly memorable? From Jansen, the powerful high register and full-toned harmonics of the cadenza; from Daniel Harding and his Mahler Chamber Orchestra, nicely balanced in relation to the soloist, the airborne quality of the Polonaise and the oboe solo in the finale's one reflective sequence.” BBC Music Magazine
