She is fantastic...

[stopdong22]

Every time l hear this i remember hangin out of a train window travelin over night to cornwall,, i had it in my head all night... wonderfull stuff...

[2009Bolero]

Gorgeous music, really special performance.



[Pepiniuxx]

@lrbaseball15 I totally agree with you, the Best Performance that has been made of this musical piece!!!

[18478yoo]

heh heh heh, shes got a double chin..heh heh heh

[ggalexhutchings]

@18478yoo nearly impossible to look good with a violin under your chin. it's the curse.

[lrbaseball15]

I've been listening to this composition for 50 years performed by the greatest violinists in the world.....Oistrakh, Stern, Perlman, Heifitz, Chang, Mutter, Manoukian, Joshua Bell, etc. Hands down, this is the best performance of them all.

[1missmaki]

WONDERFUL, MARVELOUS! I LOVE IT : )

[MrAustina60]

Breathtaking

[MrAustina60]

Stunning, note for note, memorable

[inperatieloos]

starts @ 0:55

[winrx]

I'm a fan of hers but this is just dreadful - it just sounds frantic and ragged throughout. Definitely not her finest hour.....

[jorgejlsdc]

lamasuia shia cantare

[gjpm101]

Oh yea!

[Rundda]

"Music is indeed the most beautiful of all heaven's gift to humanity wondering im tthe darkness. Alone, it calms, enlightens and stills our souls. It is not the strow to which the drowing man clings; but a true friend and comforter, for whose sake life is worth living." -P.I.Tchaikovsky.

[wickweak]

some1 day i will be able to play this piece too!! now i just need to practice hard

[fancybus]

wow what an amazing hall

[1986maligno]

[arkady714]

This piece rocks!

[TCfixit]

the most soulful piece ever written!!

[Mrteovillatrp]

No words....more i listen it more i need it...i love especially from 5.24 to 5.35 it gives me chills!

[eddysnet]

She is just great; having such a sister, would be very nice; or......you know...:

[EaAirsoft]

@eddysnet no, i don't. lol jk

[RunnersPost]

absolutely stunning. I enjoyed it :)

[stefanv2008]

I prefer JJ for her virtuosity and...for her beauty. Stefan H, Rumanien.

[andyparra3]

Is not the best Tchaicovsky interpretation...

is kinda acelerated...i prefer Hilary Hanh.

Just my opinion

[carrollruss]

I have to agree with you.

[TheBaroquediva]

Bad sound, no understanding of music.

[wimpykid131]

12 people mist the like bar...

[StephenChow1004]

Tchaikovsky ... the king of melodies

[11pinecone]

Tchaikovsky... The original professional Russian =p.

[Orthosympathicus]

This is amazing.

[Sotris24]

Que mujer!!

[ytxmak]

11 DISLIKES???? Geez, you'd have to be hard to please

[SuperGscot]

[frandoco]

BELLEZA PURA!!!!

[alexryuzaki]

Hermosisima!! y buena con el violin es MARAVILLOSA!!! LA AMO !! QUISIERA ESTAR EN UN CONCIERTO ASI :DDDDDDDDDDDD

[mones94]

exelente!!!!



[ASaloka2010]

Is that an eye roll I see right behind Janine at 0:25??

well somebody's lacking in professionalism..

[necroworms]

2:11 beautiful¡

[menusis]

una gran solista con cuyas interpretaciones (en plural) no consigo verme conmovido y de seguro lo cual despertaré más de un disenso

[warandcheese]

@menusis ?????????? menusis que complicado. a mi tampoco me conmueve.

[menusis]

@warandcheese vio? y no por eso uno está diciendo que ella lo hace mal, simplemente que lo que hace no me llega como a otras personas. Silvia Marcovici es una buena opción. Saludos

[sportsfan1937]

i want her to be my mom. she wake me up with the melodiousness of classical music ;)

[Steppen03]

Thanx alot for the vids. Love it!

[Roberto6474]

The orchestra is the Deutche Radio Philarmonie conducted by Cristoph Poppen

[wgj7gec]

i love her interpretation.....best one I've heard

[recorder38]

De toute beauté !

[ViolinistZach218]

Can anyone tell me the orchestra she is playing with. Thank you

[bamelino]

Wow this BOW ! Must be a D.Pecatte !!!

[hugesai]

u guys should listen to the akiko suwanai version of 1st move, that is even better

[DavidEppursimuove]

@Deikero Comprensible. Con el reggaeton, Justin bieber y demas cosas malas, que podemos esperar!

[bbargfr2]

Who dislikes this?

[40turati]

BRAVO....BRAVO....

Esplendida interpretación

[cappuccinozz]

Just perfect..

[DavidEppursimuove]

El concierto para violin Op. 35 es un himno al alma!!!!¿como 10 personas pueden estar en desacuerdo???

[Deikero]

@DavidEppursimuove O son sordos, o no tienen sentimientos.

[reaksiyonasokan]

ok, this is the most KICKASS version I have ever encountered, just spectacular...

[samueljsantos]

que gostosa!!!

[inescostapiano]

For me, this is the most wonderful version of this concerto. It's just an amazing interpretation!

[wooskru]

Perfection exists.Her name is Janine.

[PPPimpolh000]

LOOK, MICHAEL SHUMMACHER IS CONDUCTING THE ORCHESTRA

just kidding, awesome video.

[haiz369]

of all parts to end the video ... why during the climax.....

[tekinozbek]

Whoever edited the video should have cut to the other part before 9:45 or so. You cut right through one of the climax points of the piece.

Otherwise, good performance.

[pranacrewvisual]

cn esto lloro

[janjo33]

S U B L I M E

[MrFerjancsik]

extraordinary performance by an exceptional violinist!!! BRAVO!!!!

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

why the hell are there 10 dislikes?

[MrPeppuccio]

Questo concerto è semplicemente magnifico!!! =)) il primo tempo a mio parere è il migliore di tutti e tre... il secondo tocca di piu l anima e il terzo è come un tiramisù dal secondo xD *-*

[LaLuxx2225]

EL CONCIERTO DEL DIABLO!!!!!!!!...MARAVILLOSO

[DavidEppursimuove]

Who is conducting?

[wooskru]

She's the best violinist ever.

[EXCEOMO]

Hermosa! muy apasionante.

[jupejupes]

My favourite rendition on Youtube!



[alice15007]

7:07 hace que me provoque tirarme al sepulcro de tchaikovsky a besarle los pies.

[lolturtle13]

Is 2 years enough time to get this concerto concert ready? xD I have a lot of time but it's such a difficult piece. Not to mention I'm trying to get Bruch and Mendelssohn down at the same time along with keeping up with school. lol Janine is such a wonderful performer. To be able to master it in 2 months and play it so beautifully.

[123prion]

Janine is the best by far, incredible energy , flawless technique, passion .

Superior performance!

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

great performance! i think Janine Jansen is an underated artist, she's quite awesome :)

[legoinaboat1]

look at the guy with glasses on the left at 7:17

[lolturtle13]

@legoinaboat1 haha He kinda looks like Tchaikovsky himself. He looks pretty happy. xD

[MT22202]

rushing a bit. but thats her style. i personally like the Silvia Marcovici the best.

[yadoua]

Wonderful !!! With that Stradivarius between her hands, she just plays magic. If you've got time, watch the movie "Le Concert", about this Concerto. You will hear in the same way, but you will be crying.

[PositivelyEmerald]

This is probably my favorite concerto for violin, and I think she plays it absolutely beautifully. I love how she touches so gracefully upon the more romantic part of the piece, but when Tchaikovsky for more intensity she brings it. The notes are just so clean and connected, and I love the tempos. Not too slow, not super duper fast, but just right. Wow.

[amazinglazedonut]

GAHD, I just HATE how performers are such pussies and won't play the cooler variant of the part starting at around 8:50. They just play it safe and repeat the same exact notes as in the previous handful of measures. ARGH :(

[ViolinistAtHeart]

In terms of style, Janine Jensen is on the opposite end of scale (over-amplified emotions + tones, harsh + dynamic bowing) compared to Hilary Hahn. If Hilary Hahn were an unusually conservative player, Janine Jensen is a predictable liberal showstopper. In any case, both are excellent violinists.

[LaLuxx2225]

AMAZING, EXTRAORDINARY, INCREDIBLE, WONDERFULL, BEAUTIFULL!!! what else can i say???????????

[mattz2000]

Has anyone else realized that not only is she freaking amazing BUT she is also very well dressed!

[lolturtle13]

I've got 2 years to master this concerto. :P It's going rather well so far. The first is pretty crazy though. I may not be able to play it in time. And so it may be an incomplete performance. :(

[Sekunde28]

What is the instrument at 7:30?

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

@Sekunde28 its a trumpet :)

[panzerfausto]

I don't know how to play the violin but, if I did I think I would find the whole thing overwhelming, I would cry of joy to be able to play something so beautiful

I wish I was 5 again and I could ask my dad for a violin, I'm too old now : (

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

hehehhe the lady on the right at 1:48 looks very jealously at Janine!

[superhighpotato]

@Cebollada92 Maybe it is because your gets to close to the bridge? That is just my assumption.

[Cebollada92]

I don't know why this happen, but in 8:56 the note E which Janine is supposed to play doesn't sound, there is a chirp.

I would like to know why this happen, cuz I also play the violin since I was a little boy and it also happens to me. Thanks. =)

[superhighpotato]

@Cebollada92 Sorry, my bad I meant to say your bow gets to close to the bridge.

[lolturtle13]

@Cebollada92

I think it has to do with the thinness of the string and the fact that it is a string of solid steel or wound steel. I've heard that the whistling is caused by torsional pressure. When you put on string they are never perfectly straight when you tighten them.They are always twisted in some way and you force it straight with pressure. Since the E is so thin it's more likely to 'lock' and not vibrate because of this. Or something. XD lol. Someone should research this.

[Cebollada92]

@lolturtle13

ye lol

my violin teacher has told me that maybe he was going to research that, cuz it's a thing that anyone has stopped to watch with attention.

In one class we stoped to see that, and of course it was very curious xdd

[alexandrabak]

The violin is singing

[Mhe091]

One of mij collegues told me because of this violinists , It is amazing en touching. Thank you for making this kind of music and the passion you make it.

[annabelle031090]

she is awesome! !!!!! i like the style that she played!!!!!

[YOUCANNOTDENY]

wait, no fermatas or sul g's in the introduction and still so beautiful?

[djiebol]

keren abiz

[anabel187]

she plays it in that direct fluent way that - in my opinion - the music needs to sound easy and natural. it doesn't sound artificial or exaggerated in any way though it is full of deep russian emotion... she plays that as if she was talking her mother tongue. the highlights are at the right spots etc. i love the piece to death and only some interpretations convince me ;-) but who am i to judge her?

[anglaise992]

It´s impossible not to smile at 7:05

[DJL2482]

@anglaise992 I tried not to since you said its impossible not to...but you were totally right! haha

[alixvhessen]

Krasse Sau ....

[OrianaDiazL]

I love Janine Janse becasue she plays in a very easy way, I mean, the digitation she uses is not strange or extremately difficult..If she wants to play in 1st position, she does...I understand how she uses her left hand fingers...u know..

[elixir22vyle737]

Concerto of the Devil, played by an Angel, composed by a madman musical genius, all for us poor, lowly listeners and hack violinists!

[Marushkaya]

Which orchestra/conductor is this please?

[technocrash09]

I am also guessing that that 1753 Strad she so lovingly holds (or at least the level that she cherishes it) doesn't hurt her performances either! What an opportunity to get to even touch such a revered instrument, let alone have it loaned to you because you are so talented!

[enanotodo]

@technocrash09 it's 1727 strad

[enanotodo]

@technocrash09 it's a 1727 strad

[technocrash09]

@enanotodo I knew it was somewhere in that neighborhood. I am thinking someone gave me erroneous info on that (my knowledge is somewhat limited on the subject although I have actually seen and touched one from the early 1700s-My dad played and took me to a museum where he was "connected" when I was a kid---I was lucky I had good parents!)

[technocrash09]

JJ is such a joy to watch and listen to. I can't even describe it in words anymore. She is probably my sole source of inspiration at this point. If only I could find the time, the money and the ambition to persue her instrument (like my dad did). Playing violin would simply serve to connect me even more. Janine is a true, dyed-in-the-wool muse! I feel like I know here and have never even seen her live--------------------------­-yet!

[good12388]

like heaven

[keisuke19860722]

感動しました

[JDBMW1]

@keisuke19860722 うん、僕も。本当凄い。

[keisuke19860722]

うまい…感動した



[musicfanBRA]

I absolutely love Janine, but it's a pity that the clip stops right before the ending of the movement.... Maybe hotmifi could post it again until the end?

[musicbombsmyheart]

wonderful.

[KosteckiAdam]

Really fantastic!

[Eskimviolin]

just amazing beginning! the orchestra is excellent!

[MrJul1994]

this is why she's the best.......

[technocrash09]

@MrJul1994

In MY opinion THIS (Mendelssohns Violin Concerto in E minor) is why she is the best! #LOL---however, I have to say that JJ could play the theme to the 3 stooges and she would be the best! She can do no wrong as far as I am concerned. My God, listening to JJ playing "the meditation" will save your soul if you need it!

[OrianaDiazL]

@technocrash09 I love Janine Jansen Mendelssohn's concert... Her version is very clean!!!

[mountainenergei1]

I've seen some good players over the years. Shaham, Ehnes, Mullova, Khachatryan, even Benedetti and Chloe Hanslip. They all had something to offer.

But Jansen had the most beautiful sound to my ears. Each note hung in the air like a living thing. The only bad thing - it ended.

[sae12]

whats great about her performance is that every note she played felt like it meant something, so bravo to Janine for pulling it off :)

[celloeye]

I love this interpretation of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. Janine Jansen is such an incredible performer. I just wish some one would help her with style in appearance. She is so beautiful but that dress is awful and her hair is not even done nicely.

[ViolaWizardry]

@celloeye

Her dress looks good and her hair is fine. Unlike certain British violinists I could mention, she realises appearance is important, but not nearly as important as her playing. In other words, she has her priorities right...being taken seriously as arguably the world's finest violinist.

[celloeye]

@ViolaWizardry I would like to see what you wear to your recitals, because if it is anything like this look, I would be more than happy to help you.

[tchaikovsky27]

I love 2:50 - 2:55

[sl008m]

It's so imperfect and yet is perfect! She has her own style which I don't necessarily agree. My hands down to this monster concerto.

[BluesMusiker005]

Des ist ein Orchester, das kann ich nicht Spielen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ich bin außerdem noch nicht gut genug!!!!

[BluesMusiker005]

Würde ich auch gern mal Spilen! Leider spiele ich nur Klavier!

[chiaraziki]

@BluesMusiker005

haha du kannst doch klavier versuchs doch mal

[Funksobraza]

musique délicieuse, à un spectacle

[friend706]

fantastic, i love her interpretation so much! :) amazing..

[dereczynski]

I am full of admiration for the proffesionalism of tje orchestra the orchstra that they manage to play withthis halv/amateur conductor with a totally antimusical spastic body /language. his way of stopping the hand before the fourth beat to await the orchestra in order to know when to give the impetus for the One i pricelessand would have been corrected in an average conducting class had he ever bothered to attend one.

[MrViolinGuy]

i asked my teacher about this one, and she said i would have to tackle mendelssohn first. Great piece though.

[OrianaDiazL]

Me encanta la digitación que ella hace...!! :)

[jdwalker84]

her articulation is stunning.

[gimaru1]

very nice

[moldyoreo]

I'd love to tap that ass.

[jmviolinify]

She does pretty well, but the conductor is a bit of an arse... he keeps speeding up the orchestra to a tempo she has trouble playing.  Any good conductor would have payed more consideration to the wishes of the soloist rather than merely following his own inclinations. Not the cleanest rendition i've ever heard but I think I'd be put off too if the orchestra kept speeding up without me.

[RaRaLandTV]

Not to vilify with violinify, but you are spot on concerning the conducting ad libitum! But despite the rough edges, she compromised enough not to stick out like a sore thumb on the conductor's evil hand at things : )

[krielkippenboer]

Onvoorstelbaar mooi. Boer gaat meteen de grote stad in op zoek naar deze DVD.

[jijichristian]

AWESOME

[cracklemuffin]

ah..she has a beautiful vibrato.

[steps222]

Refreshing and revelatory. She learned the piece in about three months, btw. Re: some other remarks, she plays w/ the orch. b/c her temperament isn't about the technique but the music. Deep knee bends? I heard Shaham's Mendelssohn. He looked like John Garfield in a boxer's stance about to attack Robert Spano; the music was transcendent.

[quinto34]

Lol, who cares how it looks, music is all about sound..

I fell in love with this piece long time ago when I heard Gidon Kremer play this... This piece has no mercy on the violist, when you have some issues, there is no hiding..Janine does a excellent job, she must be darn good!

[vintageviolinist]

brilliant. breathtaking.

[marrakcy]

janine, als je dit leest.....ik ben een marokkaanse boy uit ut5recht. met non whatsover klassieke opleiding. Maar wat jij met ie viool doet heb ik echt respect vppr. keep[ up the good work....;im the example that classis music doesnt belong to a special target group[. it belongs to the world

[kiekeboeeeee]

halneufmille,

that piece is unplayable.

I definitly understand she looks a bit grumpy!

I wont try it myself...

[halneufmille]

I asked my violin teacher if I could play it. She showed the music to me and just said: Don't even think about it, it's the Concerto of the Devil.

[anguilla86]

that's not the right way to teach and learn violin...I think that if u study u can do anithyng...there is nothing too hard to play if u WANT TO PLAY IT !!! maybe u'll not learn these concerto in 3 months or in 1 year but if u want, and u study, u can play anithyng !!

[oldaardvark]

@halneufmille

Oh I'm sure they said that to Janine at some point!

[almerioable]

@halneufmille "magnificat le diable"

[cikonuric]

@halneufmille

You have a stupid teacher then, everything can be done with hard work

[mrwarrington94]

@cikonuric his teacher is probably saying that he shouldn't be even thinking of the concerto at his level of playing but ur right that it is a bad way of naming it cause it's not as difficult as sebilius or tartini

[johnyboy6405]

@halneufmille That is not a good teatcher!!! You must put you heart into it

[elixir22vyle737]

@halneufmille You must forgive your teacher for not encouraging you properly. Get a new one? or just buy the music and start practicing. Who cares if you are not Heifetz or Oistrakh next week. Play it year after year, work it out, enjoy the journey and don't listen to anyone is not supportive of your desires to do something fantastic like this piece. Just attempting it will make you a better violinist as time goes by. To all others, smile that knowing smile which says you are becoming better.:>)

[RaRaLandEQ]

@elixir22vyle737

hear hear

[okenta3ei]

@elixir22vyle737 u say that because u dont play the violin obviously...his teacher is tight if he tries this piece in lower level than normal then he will not enjoy it as much he will enjoy it in the proper timing...i say that by selfexperience

[elixir22vyle737]

@okenta3ei dear friend, I have been playing violin for 37 years. If a person wants to do something and someone else discourages him, shame on them. If a person never challenges themself, they will never get better. I appreciate your opinion, I just don' agree with it. A person can enjoy the challenge of attempting to learn a piece even if they are not good at it. It will benefit them in all of their musical endeavors. That's what goal setting is all about. Reaching higher and improving.
