Brahms: Violin Concerto; Bartok: Violin Concerto No.1

Product Description In partnership with acclaimed maestro Sir Antonio Pappano, Decca's violinist Janine Jansen couples one of the best-loved violin concertos ever written - the Brahms violin concerto - with Bartok's first violin concerto, a moving work with a passionate narrative. Jansen and Pappano recorded the Brahms with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and the Bartok with the London Symphony Orchestra. Review Jansen s strong attack and rhythmic acuity created an engaging account of the gypsy-inspired finale, and she displayed exquisite delicacy and cantabile phrasing in her quietly impassioned reading of the slow movement. --Concert review of Brahms s Violin Concerto, Sydney, The Australian (March 2015)
