“I feel it’s a privilege to conduct this orchestra. The level of musicianship is just enormous. The orchestra is made up of veterans, people who played with Claudia Abbado. This mix of tremendous experience and wisdom is just unbeatable. It’s the secret of this orchestra, in fact.”
The Dutch violinist Janine Jansen is now a global star with a unique style that blends resilient ease with energetic drama. The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote that “she produces a tone full of sweet incandescence in the high register, while her low range possesses a richness like that of a viola”.
