Britten: Violin Concerto / Jansen · Harding · Berliner Philharmoniker

[xXMonkeyZillaXx]

I was afraid she was going to hurt herself but iloced the piece. Very very intense

[Roseburg93]

I've just watched the whole concert and Janine gets a rousing reception . The violin bow is falling apart by the end.

[MrJovecir]

ai se eu te pego. Beijos, Brasil!

[doodledawl]

stefan dohr! <3

[sahand144]

Intense.....awesome

[2007wesman]

Is it wrong that i head banged to this?

[BerlinPhil]

@2007wesman Certainly not!

[NostalgicNorthland]

Simply wonderful....3 mins 10 seconds of excitment and passion.

[Ragnaroekk]

I like your orchestra, I hate the way you bully around other users on YT who happen to have stuff with the Berlin Phil on their channels. Instead of writing a message, you have those videos banned immediately and also BAN the users.

Very unappealing and unfriendly. Learn how to behave on the Internet.

[classicalwagner]

this concerto was made for Jansen and Berlin

[legoinaboat1]

@0:23 older ashton kutcher :D

[z0tx]

What a diabolical piece

[GregHales]

Britten was a wonderful composer.

[apogram]

open mouth....

[aPMism]

great energy and overall performance. but i couldn't help but notice that she didn't go high enough on the glissando at 0:35. The note it concludes on should be a half-step higher, which she does correctly in the repeat of the passage that follows.

[violinscratcher]

@aPMism

You are right but where is the problem? Such things happen when you play with full energy and high risk to give a strong, lively performance...

[milstein91]

@aPMism big deal...

[frankcisyarmi]

Impresionante version de Janine Jansen!!!!! logra esa mistica diabolica q invento Britten en sus agudos para representar el mal

[danielcarrol12]

MY GOD I LOVE IT! YOU GO GIRL! HOLY CRAPPPPPPPPPP

[cageynerd]

One word... WOOOW...

[sl008m]

Look at the size of those arms!! No wonder her sound!!

[milstein91]

too much scratching and acting

[moviepy]

her acting look like dupre

[moviepy]

look like dupre

[devrimyoldas]

God bless you Jansen.

[xavipercu]

Es ist erstaunlich, wie diese Frau sich bewegt, als sie wie eine Geige spült fühlt. Es ist fantastisch. Ich würde alles dafür geben um zu sehen, zu leben. (Pardon mein Deutsch aber ich benutze einen Übersetzer).

[physphilmusic]

love the theme at 1:38...it's almost rock!

[sylarslayerr]

she can feel the music cuz of that she can make such a wonderfull music:)

[agentepiterson]

I hope Daniel Hope can play this as stunningly as she can...!

[kaufsteck]

der braunstein ist leicht gelangweilt... :)

[RyanSimpson09]

Fantastisch <333333333

[rojasrod]

all noise

[SpectrumConcerts]

If this is noise it is noise as beautiful as were the paintings by Max Ernst depicting the destruction of Europe during WWII.

[henrykkingdom]

she makes me thinking of heifetz again

[musicsinyee]

I have her Britten recording~It's superb..

[DaveD5929]

Wow! I had somehow written this piece off many years ago but I now realize it was not due to the value of the piece. Janine Jansen IMO delivers all that is possible (and more) to give in this unrelenting performance. 'Possessed' for some may connote a negative term, but in this case it is not.,,,,she is utterly possessed and delivers a striking and shattering performance of an early Britten masterpiece.

[minsypie]

Fantastic and RAW!

[aweitzer1]

amazing. so much passion, excitement and intenstiy. i saw her last year with vladimir ashkenazy conducting...absolutely brilliant.

[tueslabelledujour]

PERFECT

[her0esfan]

i didn't know she was this good!

[pokerface127]

that was probably the most intensity i've ever seen from janine. THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER!

[classicalisdabest]

This is an absolute masterpiece!

[PIPE3GUTI]

que concertino tan idiota,no me gusta,y janine jansen como siempre espectacular,un cien por ciento

[yuehchopin]

Energie Engel

[bryn93]

That was outright erotic.

[aiyaaa]

I got goosebumps.

[helena2isy]

Uoooou!!! Incredible!!!

[ZeroX810]

great chemistry between harding and jansen

[violaissimmo]

I think this is the performance that is finally going to get me to go over the DCH and subscribe. I've been watching these videos for a few weeks now and this just blew my mind. Truly amazing violin-playing! Wow!

[GregHales]

Excellent.

[HuggumsMcgehee]

She's making that violin sing!

[chamberviolist]

yes it was delightful.....Glückliche Feiertage! !!!! i hope that was write....

[legoinaboat1]

@chamberviolist "right"

[chamberviolist]

@legoinaboat1 I'm sorry, it was a mistake. Thanks for the correction!

[BachClarinet]

She is an incredible artist!

Thank you BerlinPhil!

[StringBoi]

Wonderful!

[curlyman217]

ASTOUNDING! i've been anticipating this video for a while. janine is so beautiful and talented. she is truly a virtuoso! sincere thanks to berlinphil! merry christmas!

[meagamon490]

so amazing. she's one of the top 5 violin soloists out there right now. amazing.

[Emunozcjnick]

@meagamon490

how are the other 4, now?

[meagamon490]

how are they fine, in sure. hahaha. :p

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

awesome! but is it just me or is her right shoulder super just a bit to high?

[OfGreatLakes]

@BBRENTTAGHAPP

You can get more leverage on the bow (which results in a more powerful sound) when the entire arm is above the bow, I'm betting that's part of how she achieves that kind of output for the explosive passages. Based on this clip, I think she's more focused on communicating the music. The high shoulder may also be indicative of subconscious tension carrying over into the rest of her playing (there's another outburst after this clip ends). Hope to see more of the performance!

[redhotchiliangel]

Awesome violin concerto.

[Sinneo91]

Frohe Weihnachten! Und danke für dieses Geschenk. (Hope that was nearly correct, haha).

[BerlinPhil]

Perfect German! And frohe Weihnachten to you, too.

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Janine Jansen - Xena of the violin!

[EdwardWhelanPiano]

This sounds like diluted Shostakovich.

[madgamer23]

you could say she's the lang lang of violins; yet I don't dislike her like I do lang lang.

[pepenomedestormento]

¡¡¡Que maravilla!!! Janine, te veré e Murcia este proximo año...

[Ctadeo]

wow...that was intense, i mean...you can see it in her face lolololol.

[TheClassicalFun]

@Ctadeo

Janine is always intense.... and she shows it with her face, her body language, making music also visible for the eyes, not hiding anything....

[culturehorse]
