Program
Janine Jansen, one of the most outstanding violinists on the international scene, headlines this Chamber Music season concert with the pianist Gavrylyuk. Together they will perform an intense and profoundly emotional repertoire.Janine Jansen is one of the most outstanding violinists on the international scene. Her concert activity is broad-ranging and varied, as a soloist with today’s best orchestras and conductors—the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, Zubin Mehta, Daniele Gatti and Michael Tilson Thomas—as well as in chamber music ensembles with illustrious musicians such as Miša Maiskis and Martha Argerich and in recitals with the pianists Elisabeth Leonskaja and Alexander Gavrylyuk. It is in this latter dimension and alongside the pianist Gavrylyuk that she will visit us during Chamber Season. Together they will perform an intense and profoundly emotional repertoire: Violin Sonata No. 1, Op. 105 by Robert Schumann, which dramatically evokes the mental fragility of the composer during his final years of life; theViolin Sonata, Op. 94a by Sergei Prokofiev, originally written for flute and piano for fun during breaks in the filming of Ivan the Terrible; and the Sonata for Violin and Piano by César Franck, a core component in the repertoire for violin and one of the best examples of the cyclic form of composition, where the same theme reappears at different moments during the piece.
