Performer: Janine Jansen

Sir Antonio Pappano the charioteer whips his forces to attack the fleeing Shostakovich in the Tenth Symphony at the Barbican. 

Janine Jansen joins the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra for Prokofiev in a brilliantly conceived programme ending with Bartók’s ebullient Concerto for Orchestra. 

Led by Sir Antonio Pappano, the London Symphony's first New York appearance in two decades also featured Janine Jansen in Bernstein's Serenade after Plato's "Symposium".

Sally Beamish's Distans received its UK premiere, along with the Seventh Symphony in Noseda's ongoing Prokofiev cycle with the LSO.

Pappano's transition from pit to podium continues in London, with fine results in a Barbican programme of Boulanger, Barber and Rachmaninov. 

Timothy Ridout, Daniel Blendulf and Denis Kozhukin join the Dutch violinist for intensely passionate performances of Brahms chamber works. 

One of only 60 surviving cellos by the Cremonese master, Kian Soltani’s ‘London, ex-Boccherini’ cello is reunited with many other Stradavari instruments at J & A Beare’s Chamber Music Festival in December.

The Czech Philharmonic marks its 130th anniversary with a season perfect for Dvořák fans, with visits from Augustin Hadelich, Sir András Schiff, Sir Antonio Pappano and Janine Jansen.

Virtuosity and grace meet with impeccable provenance and immense value – in an all-Stradivarius concert at Cadogan Hall this December.
