You have to believe that Janine's career as a violin soloist really exists only to support her commitment to music like this. I've loved watching her for years and one thing that has always come across in those many performances is her engagement with members of the orchestra. In chamber music that is all that matters. This is exquisite. Janine is a joy!
Had Tchaikovsky lived long enough to attend this rendition, I'm sure he would say..."this is what I meant to speak in this sextet". Thanks Janine and all your friends. You guys are great!!!!!!
*Impressive* indeed, -- even if you don't particularly appreciate Tchaikowsky's music. This team of performers under the supervision of the *marvelous* Mrs. Jansen is really remarkable.
The best chamber music video in TH-cam. Janine Jansen with extra-terrestrial energy - and next to her another of the best players around... Simply WOW !
Yes, Mr Schumacher, I'll second that. The thing to put in front of anyone who thinks he/she can't/won't 'get' chamber music. How the hell is that there are over a hundred 'thumbs down' here?
Can we just take a moment to admire how in tune they are at 34:28? Most people are too tired at this point/have given up but this group is so impeccable with their tuning - it's astounding.
If you've played a lot of chamber music, at this point fatigue isn't a factor at all. You're floating on a sea of adrenaline. Especially when you get to play with great musicians, you all feed off each other emotionally. There is an indescribable joy and thrill, which you can see on all their faces. You study and practice for 25 years for moments like this. If anything, the difficulty is to keep your passions under control and continue to play sensitively (yes, even in loud passages) and in complete control of your instrument.
0:00 - Allegro con spirito - первая часть 10:47 - Adagio cantabile e con moto - вторая часть 21:10 - Allegretto moderato - третья часть (русский реквием) 27:46 - Allegro con brio e vivace - четвёртая часть
No superlatives can do this performance justice. It is just beyond everything. Magical, hypnotic, brilliant, astounding, beautiful, a composition and performance by geniuses.
Arguably the best live chamber music performance of any piece ever! Beyond belief! Janine Jansen's command of artistic impression is unlike anything I have ever heard.
This is my first hearing of this piece. It is remarkable. It's similar to the piano trio. where Tchaikovsky gives us one melody after another- each melody growing out of the one that came before. Tchaikovsky was a genius. He can turn schmaltz into profound pathos. How about that first violist!
I think Ms. Jansen was born to play music like this - big and brilliant. This is a really nice performance of a horrifically difficult but gorgeous work.
Surely the most charismatic and energetic violin virtuoso on the circuit today. There are violin compositions that have never found favour with me during my lifetime but when she plays them, i watch, listen and learn. Her enthusiasm overflows and she clearly loves playing chamber/ensemble works.
A true masterpiece and a performance that I'll return to again and again. I have a soft spot for the 3rd movement with all its Russianness and quiet melancholy. My favourite performance of a work I've loved for more than 50 years - there's no greater compliment than that! Thank you for giving us all the chance to enjoy it.
Absolument d'accord avec vous, Alexandra Roedder. Vilde Frang n'allait pas tarder à émerger comme la grande violoniste que nous aimons tant aussi. Merci de votre avis partagé.
Janine Jansen is phenomenal in performing Tchaikovsky. It seems to me she is passionately into the spirit of Tchaikovsky music perhaps more than any other violin virtuoso that I have listened to. Her performance of Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with conductor Paavo Järvi and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is outstanding.
Dit is de originele souvenir de Florence voor strijksextet geschreven door Tsjaikovski en later werd dat bewerkt voor strijkorkest 1e violen, 2e violen, altviolen, celli en contrabassen. Er bestaat daarvan een opname met Sinfonietta Amsterdam van zondag 17 februari 2019 een opname van het AVRO TROS zondagochtend concert
Wow! The loose bow hairs just a small token of your total passion and consummate musicianship. Not enough space to mention all the wonderful things about your performance. A great sextet is a very hard work to compose and also to play well, but you did its composer proud.
Janine Jansen plays like a demon relishing the creative spontaneity and vivacity of Tchaikovsky, with her fine friends no less on song in this-these- explosive outbursts of brilliance, that not so much fade, as pause, to fold into a sonorous change of mood, simply put the most beautiful of melodies , and those wild, yet profound escapades: his quite magnificent and deeply humane , as well as musically supreme, trade marks of genius.
I love all interpretations of her, but the best interpretations she does together with her friends and own orchestra. Vivialdis 4 seasons of her and her orchestra is the best 4 seasons i ve ever heard. It its so modern and full of energy, it is violin rock and punk.
Julian Rachlin's solo (viola) at the start of movement 3 at th-cam.com/video/vulKECq4r60/w-d-xo.html is so lovely and interesting. And there's a wonderful moment of levity when he realizes his open C string is a little bit out of tune and he quickly fixes it while playing the note.
Congratulations to the ladies!!! Janine Jansen and Vilde Frang... Among the top five: The best viloinists in the world. The very best is a man. A very high level in this performance. The other strings: Excellent. BRAVO!!!
For me\, one of Tchaikovsky'\s better works. Delighted to view it so well performed with both emotion and artistry, Thank you for a splendid video. Bravo!
❤ wuuuuooo! Increíbles.versiones tan profundamente perfecta en su ejecución, siempre con pura pasión, bellísimo todo, gracias y felicitaciones a tod@s. Saludos desde México cdmx
What a performance! That third movement is just to die for. This isn't just the best performance on TH-cam, this beats any recording out there except maybe Sarah Chang's. It's an all-star group, Power and Rachlin are great musicians, Vilda Frang is one of the best young violinists in Europe ..... That 2nd violin part in this piece is really hard, in some ways more difficult than the 1st. It's a bunch of soloists and yet they all play with such care for each other, it really does look like friends in the living room enjoying a nice chamber music read.
Discrimination is not a right... (love your name)... Funny, I love her playing but cannot watch her play. It's not her fault, she is how she is, we all are. I just find her very distracting and for me it takes away from her skill... so I listen instead.
Absolutely stunning performance of this amazing and fiendishly difficult piece! Bravo! I come back and watch this video every so often just for inspiration. It is perhaps my favorite chamber music performance of all... and I love to watch Janine conduct emotion with her gestures and facial expression. Captivating!
Goodness what it must be like to PLAY that. I used to play in string quartets and loved when the music got intense...can't even imagine the feeling of playing something so mesmerizing...especially the end of that first movement!
holy crap. this is MARVELOUS. I'm playing this at a chamber music festival next week, now I can't wait to play it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful interpretation of Souvenir de Florence. I feel bad listening to this for free.
Janie and friends performance of this great music is as good as any I've heard. They are obviously having a lot of fun performing it too! Thank you for sharing -
Came here looking for Nikocados comments, cant find them. If you're seeing this hello Nik, thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece! As an aspiring cellist it truly touched my soul❤
i bought the sheet music for this sextet decades ago. thinking, someday ..... plus, i love how the fury with their playing, the flying bow hairs. i know it's not intentional, but what show-biz! they got the goods!!!
Does Janine ever get goosebumps from her own playing?
holy crap
Yes, there are moments where you ascend to heaven and it's inscrutable, but a feeling of nirvana...
@@karenbenjey1Bx
No. Her jaw doesn't drop the the floor when she looks in the mirror, either.

...estaba pensando exactamente lo mismo.-Que fantástico sería que el maestro Tchaicovsky escuchara esta maravillosa versión de su obra.
21:36 having to tune the open C string during a performance. I totally know the feel. #ViolaProblems
No feeling as helpless as a bad open C!
Robert... That's totally normal for cello and viola... we ain't playin' right if we don't have to tune during a concert! ;-).
#ViolaProblems? More like #ViolasAreProblems
janine's laughing at it
Wood tailpiece with fine tuners, never again that problem
Very impressive! Wow, my Souvenir de Florence was just a lousy T-shirt from the airport ...
Ha Ha :: ))
*Impressive* indeed, -- even if you don't particularly appreciate Tchaikowsky's music. This team of performers under the supervision of the *marvelous* Mrs. Jansen is really remarkable.
@@IvanGreindl Who couldn't appreciate Tchaikovsky's music?
But well worth the trip to that beautiful city!
@@delta7155 bellissima Firenze!
Janine should record more Tchaikovsky works. Her interpretation's so breathtaking
The best chamber music video in TH-cam. Janine Jansen with extra-terrestrial energy - and next to her another of the best players around... Simply WOW !
You have a better one ? I'd love to see it.
I'm addicted to Vivaldi's Four Seasons but it is Jansen after all.
This video is the DEFINITION of chamber music, 6 soloists together, making music with so much fire and passion...
no words for that!
Yes, Mr Schumacher, I'll second that. The thing to put in front of anyone who thinks he/she can't/won't 'get' chamber music. How the hell is that there are over a hundred 'thumbs down' here?
Yes, Vilde Frang is a very underappreciated violinist

Everything changes dramatically when a world class violinist like Jensen is at the lead. Breathtakingly gorgeous. She is also gorgeous
Tchaikovsky was a pure genius!!! I cannot fathom how divine his works are!
Indeed.
No superlatives can do this performance justice. It is just beyond everything. Magical, hypnotic, brilliant, astounding, beautiful, a composition and performance by geniuses.
23:31 so nice audibly and visually
Arguably the best live chamber music performance of any piece ever! Beyond belief! Janine Jansen's command of artistic impression is unlike anything I have ever heard.

@@howardchasnoff208 Tchaikovsky is a master of counterpoint! love his melodic lines how they interwieve and mingle like old friends talking.
Nonsense.
I think Ms. Jansen was born to play music like this - big and brilliant. This is a really nice performance of a horrifically difficult but gorgeous work.
2:41 first four chairs, like dominoes
I think Rachlin nearly fell off his chair there :P
Or brush strokes. Artist are they all.
wow..
Think they rehearsed that 😂
Actually the domino effect goes thru the cellists too!
The way that was played made it seem like a Violin Concerto. Amazing talent and great fun to listen to
Alleen muzikanten beseffen dat je echt heel veel moet studeren om deze graat van perfectie te bereiken. Mijn complimenten geweldige uitvoering.👍
The second movement makes me sob ever since the first time I heard it 20 years ago. So heartbreaking. They play it so beautifully and passionately 😭
Surely the most charismatic and energetic violin virtuoso on the circuit today. There are violin compositions that have never found favour with me during my lifetime but when she plays them, i watch, listen and learn. Her enthusiasm overflows and she clearly loves playing chamber/ensemble works.
This is life, B. I was put here on this planet to experience this moment of musical profundity.
A true masterpiece and a performance that I'll return to again and again. I have a soft spot for the 3rd movement with all its Russianness and quiet melancholy. My favourite performance of a work I've loved for more than 50 years - there's no greater compliment than that! Thank you for giving us all the chance to enjoy it.
Can we give the second violinist some credit for being perfectly there and supportive the entire time? She was fantastic!
Absolument d'accord avec vous, Alexandra Roedder. Vilde Frang n'allait pas tarder à émerger comme la grande violoniste que nous aimons tant aussi. Merci de votre avis partagé.
Thought the comments might be overdoing it a bit - until I watched and listened. This is one I'd love to have heard live. Truly great.
Janine Jansen is phenomenal in performing Tchaikovsky. It seems to me she is passionately into the spirit of Tchaikovsky music perhaps more than any other violin virtuoso that I have listened to. Her performance of Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with conductor Paavo Järvi and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is outstanding.
29:38 wow that note was so in tune my headphones started vibrating
would be wierder if it made your headphone stop vibrating honestly
@@Siieracki he's talking about a tuning fork, which resonates at 440 Hz, or A4, the standard tuning note (or frequency)

12:30 when she sustains that harmonic / or else another play dovetails with the same note: so astoundingly beautiful

These guys are really intense.....Do not remember having heard before such a powerful version.
The one with roussev kang is also great. The hall had better acoustics.
The fact that all of them are super accomplished soloists as well doesn't hurt..😊
For those Who came for pure passion:
10:50
This is perhaps the best performance of this wonderful work. Italian warmth and charm.
Congratulations to the ladies!!! Janine Jansen and Vilde Frang... Among the top five: The best viloinists in the world. The very best is a man. A very high level in this performance. The other strings: Excellent. BRAVO!!!
you can tell by her eyes in 2:36 she's so into the music! Love it!
+SmirnoffLime lol :D I'd even have more respect for her if she'd play like this on drugs
The best and most animated performance of this wonderful music. Late Tchaikovsky is so rich.
This masterpiece is a Universe unto itself. The more intense your gaze, the more wondrous beauties you espy.
I Love Janine Jansen! Her and her MAGNIFICENT Renditions! She's So BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED!!!
Great performance. The dynamics are amazing!
Nice performance! LOL at 21:37 when the violist had to tune. Janine found it funny haha
I caught fire at 10 mins in...they're all divas! perfection!
For me\, one of Tchaikovsky'\s better works. Delighted to view it so well performed with both emotion and artistry, Thank you for a splendid video. Bravo!
This is so beautiful,one of the best interpretation I have heard.

sorry boy, I saw her first...
I love watching Ms. Jensen's facial expressions.
Yes! Very intense; "in the zone".
Discrimination is not a right... (love your name)... Funny, I love her playing but cannot watch her play. It's not her fault, she is how she is, we all are. I just find her very distracting and for me it takes away from her skill... so I listen instead.

... Recuerdo de Florencia, Janine, fuerza y poder, pasión total por su arte, maestría y carácter, ¡impresionante!, los seis, sensacionales ...
Maravilloso, emocionante y una comprensión de la obra hasta en los mas minimos detalles.
Todo es importante en música.
Gracias !
Vilde and Janine! 😍 my faves!
Marvelous playing of this rich late in life work of Tschaikovsky.
Late in a life of 53 years, ended by cholera 9 days after the premiere of his greatest triumph.
2nd movement, perfect ballet music. Violin and cello. Two perfect performers.
Le thème à 12:47 me fait penser à "Quoi" de Gainsbourg (ou plutôt l'inverse ;)) ! Il est développé ensuite et la ressemblance est encore plus grande !
Is there anything more sublime than artists at their most transcendent? Thank you!
Bravissima Janine (a questo siamo abituati da molto tempo) ma bravi anche i giovani musicisti che l'accompagnano.
its rare that i like something on the first listen through, to be honest, but this is immediately charming
Great record and thank you so so much this excellent music...❤❤❤
Such intensity, it is as if Ms. Jansen is at war with the music! If that is true then there is absolutely no doubt that she has conquered it!
Janie and friends performance of this great music is as good as any I've heard. They are obviously having a lot of fun performing it too! Thank you for sharing -
JJ is such a fantastic chamber musician. She is so much fun to watch.
Great music and excellent preformanace
There are things that are right in the world. This is one of them.
Fantastic!! Bravo!!!
Excellent performance! It sounds really great! Janine Jansen is a virtuous violinist and a very beautiful woman.

Very lively and powerful performance of this well-known masterwork with perfect synchronicity and well-articulated rhythm.

Fantastic playing
This really is a remarkable performance.
Thanks to my parents for brining me into this world , give me the chance to hear this wonderful music.
wonderfull performance
Me gusta el brillo, la expresión y la entrega de esta violinista que encaja con la delicadeza de la música del gran músico ruso. Muchas Gracias
