Danse des dames : Janine Jansen en récital au Wigmore Hall

Un véritable écho a résonné à la Salle Gaveau, en compagnie de Shlomo Mintz, Itamar Golan et Sonia Wieder-Atherton.

Sakari Oramo swaps his baton for a bow to join Janine Jansen in a fine performance of Prokofiev's double violin sonata; imperfect balance and coordination affect Jansen and pianist Itamar Golan's Prokofiev and Schubert.

The International Chamber Music Festival offered a cycling tour along some of the finest buildings in Utrecht, where music was performed in this special setting.

There was something for everyone in Maxim Vengerov and Itamar Golan’s recital programme at the Barbican last night. The music of nine different nations was represented in a multicultural extravaganza of shifting horizons, moods and styles.

The Recontres inédites series is what makes the Verbier Festival famous among aficionados. The title translates – roughly – as “Unprecedented Meetings”, and that is certainly what the concerts represent: world-class soloists brought together on minimal but far from non-existent rehearsal time to play chamber music.

Retour sur le premier concert symphonique de l'été au Gstaad Menuhin Festival, où la direction de Jaap van Zweden et le jeu de Janine Jansen ont fait merveille dans Mendelssohn et Bruckner.
