Kirill Petrenko and Janine Jansen with Brahms’s Violin Concerto

Johannes Brahms wrote the most famous violin concerto of the late Romantic period – a work that focuses less on virtuosic brilliance than on the symphonic fusion of solo instrument and orchestra. The concerto is a favourite of Artist in Residence Janine Jansen, who is able to demonstrate her seismographic sensitivity for sound and her eloquent expressiveness alongside Kirill Petrenko. Alexander Scriabin’s intoxicating Third Symphony is philosophical work, describing the ascent of the human spirit from darkness to enlightenment.
