Sir Simon Rattle and Janine Jansen

Beauty of sound and emotional depth characterise the playing of violinist Janine Jansen, who is the Berliner Philharmoniker’s 2025/26 Artist in Residence. Under the baton of Simon Rattle, she will perform Sergei Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, which intriguingly combines capricious modern elements with lyrical intensity. John Adams in his famous Harmonielehre dresses minimal music in Impressionistic colours, while Percy Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy uses folk melodies to evoke rural England.
