I wish had friends that understood the beauty of this =(

The slow movement was my grandfather's favorite piece of music. He whistled it all the time. He died in 1951 when I was 9. But to this day, and I'm closing in on 75, when I hear it I think of him.

Her phrasing is gold Her sound is gold Her vibrato is gold Prove she is made of gold

No wonder Brett Yang is in love with her. She is amazing.

6:25 most gigantic eargasm of all time!

I was a WW2 orphan and at one foster home (before my mother died) the grandfather a member of the San Diego Symphony and would practice violin out in his garage/ workshop, while I would sit on the other side of the door (3 yrs. old) and cry at such beautiful music and the this was one of them. I started on violin at age 10 yrs. and still perform. Janine is magical, just love her passion. Listen to her Bach Chaconne, a real education. Wonderful.

People frequently comment that Jansen's career is aided by her good looks. Yes, she is a very pretty lady! Regardless, for years I have admired Jansen's playing without putting much stock in her appearance. Then I saw several interviews with Jansen. And I fell in love! Not just a pretty face, but a sincere warmth, grace, intelligence and humility that I found extremely appealing. And incredible talent. She is a treasure!

Not only was every note in place but also every hair. What an elegant, powerful and artistic performer. This is one of the best recordings of this concerto I have ever heard. Absolutely outstanding and we can thank the conductor and orchestra who were equally outstanding.

Tchaikovsky's Violin concerto: I. Allegro moderato 0:00 II. Canzonetta: Andante 18:56 III. Finale: Allegro vivacissimo 25:08 Encore: "Mélodie" from "Souvenir d'un lieu cher" (arr. for violin and orchestra by Glazunov) 39:43

I'm never tired of this masterpiece

Wow. I like a violinist that plays more than the written note, the feeling, the vibrato, nuances, and intelligent interpretation. Wow.

Janine Jansen is not only a treasure in Holland but also a blessing for humankind. I really like her performance.

In my opinion the best violinist in the world!

I love how it's not always finesse with Jansen. With the Tchaikovsky she's never afraid to go at it, adding appropriately rustic accents.

6:25 is pure magic! What a great piece of art!

my favourite recording of this piece. janine jansen is an absolute legend.

What I LOVE about Jansen is she is no cookie cutter violinist, she is an artist to thrill today's audiences like no other. We are lucky to be able to hear her gift to the world.

Wat kan Janine Jansen ons mee nemen met deze prachtige muziek. Geweldig. Dank. Ook aan Paavo en het Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, een door mij zeer gewaardeerd orkest.

This is the best performance of Tchaikovsky on youtube!

34:31 Spine-tingling. I have heard this piece a million times but it always still gets me.

I love everything about this - the composer, the soloist and the conductor. What a sublime and exciting performance this is. Janine is full of wit and energy, as well as impeccable beauty (I've never heard the cadenza played with such virtuosity and delight) and Paavo matching her every move. This is more like a chamber piece - with everyone listening and joining in the fun. Never underestimate this music - it is Tchaikovsky at his inventive best - and this may be the best performance of it I've heard in 45 years of loving it. Wow!

I break up in tears every time I listen to this piece... This musicality is beyond words

I hope that audience understands just how privileged they are

I have lived with recordings of this monumental work, by such artists as Heifitz, Oistrack, Menuhin, Chung, Szeryng, Little, Mutter, and this performance stacks up against the very best.

After searching the right performance of this piece for 2 years, I think I finally found it.

I remember when I was a child traveling by car with my family and my father listening to this concert all the trip long and, at first i didn't like it, but with time I started to appreciate it and now I am a big enthusiastic of classic music thanks to him. I miss you so much dad

I know very well it makes absolutely no sense to be proud of being born in the same area as a celebrity, but damn Janine, you are a treasure for the Dutchies.

Staggering performance by Janine Janssen ... surely the foremost violinist of the moment. But what I also find really wonderful about this is the sensitive conducting of Paavo Järvi. If you want to see what a conductor does apart from flapping his baton about, watch this. His interaction with Janine is wonderful to watch! And lastly ... the lady flautist!! What an enthusiastic performance from her! And may I say ... what a beauty!! All in all 44 minutes of heaven! Thanks for posting!

Janine, jij hebt een zeer groot talent vanGod gekregen om de mensen te troosten en vreugde te geven. Dank U wel Heere God, zegen Janine overvloedig in Jezus'naam.

Congratulations , Janine , ........is very , very , beautifol this concert ....excellent ❤

Being a violinist has such high demand for stamina, I doubt if I can just hold that piece of wood for more than 40 minutes straight, let alone playing with such strength and precision at the same time

I can feel the pain of Tchaikovski, it´s so emotional, those glissandos and hight passages. That virtuosity, such powerful song Tchaikovski must have been the most amazing composer ever

So I watched several performances of this piece and this is my favorite interpretation of it. Others were excellent as well, but this one is extra special. Gorgerous!

The Tchaikovsky violin concerto is my favourite classical piece, and played by Janine Jansen it seems twice as beautiful as it normally is! Congratulations!

I have listened to this concerto 50+ times and her third movement increased my appreciation of the work - that's the highest compliment you can give any artist. Well done Janine!

This is one of my favourite pieces of classical music. And this performance is electrifying! Ahh Tchaikovski...what a genius!

Janine Jansen, eine hervorragende Violinistin! Technik, klang der Geige, exzellent! Sie kämpft noch mit ihrem Instrument. Es scheint noch keine Partnerschaft zu sein. Eine in Musikalität eingetauchte Verbindung!

literally no one: me after watching a performance on youtube, every single time: *applauds like there's no tomorrow*

un bon moment d'ecoute, merci.

This always makes me smile :) I can't imagine life without music like this.

Wonderful performance by Janine Jansen accompanied by an excellent orchestra. Her playing is sharp and vigorous in addition to melodious, a combination that places her among the top violinists of all time.

And...! The delicious encore (the Melodie, by Tchaikovsky) is so touching. Watch the chemistry between soloist and conductor. They really playing this with love and warmth. Brava Janine, bravo Paavo and bravo maestro Tchaikovsky...

This performance is why the word "sublime" was invented!!! Glorious performance!

Janine is incredibly beautiful! It is insane, let alone the brilliant execution of every performance. This is a feast to the ear and glorious to watch. Thank you universe for giving us such unbelievably gifted artists!

Tchaikovsky at the top of his game...and Janine too! Melodious from beginning to end.

Janine Jansen is just INCREDIBLE!!!! She puts her all into it and it sounds amazing!

Janine Jansen è assoluta! Chissà quante vite di grandi musicisti sono in lei!!!! Anche perchè meditare davanti a 10.000 persone senza mai un momento perdere la calma è una dote di pochissimi da sempre. Una Dea. Grazie Janine.

I had this on cd but lost it. I used to listen with the children (long time ago) and I remember the oldest one (very sensitive) not older than 6 back then used to lay herself on the ground with arms wide crying how beautiful ❤️ timeless. Wonderful memory while I accidentally come across this video 🙏

I just want to add a new comment to the responses to her marvelous performance. She embodies all of the passion, tension, and joy of the piece. If the recording had stopped after the first movement, all the promise would have been fulfilled. Thank God it is complete!

I love her tone quality and phrasing. definitely one of the best I've heard.

she is so passionate it's amazing!

Not only is this a superb soloist, you are seeing a stunningly masterful accompaniment by Paavo Järvi too. Bravo for the camera work too. Every classical musician should see this production.

An outstanding performance of the best violin concerto in history! Janine Jansen's passionate engagement in her music is clearly visible and resonates with listeners and the conductor alike, IMO. As for Jansen, I couldn't think of a better example of an instance where beauty and talent have simultaneously reached to an apex.

An electrifying performance from Janine; suitably sensitive, full of energy and occasionally drunken (as I think Tchaikovsky intended) but also with great support from the excellent orchestra and conductor. for whom this clearly isn't just another play through. Lots of new ideas here and I loved it. But can I just give a shout out to the wonderful Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, bless him, without whom none of us would be able to share this masterful and underrated concerto. A joy from start to finish with a lovely bonus at the end. Thank you so much for the upload.

brilliant and impressive playing. She is absolutely one of the best violinists in the world.😆

Brilliant, beautiful, elegant & wonderful! I love how at the end her hair is all messy! She's on fire! Brava!

This weekend she played this concert in Auditori of Barcelona. It was a gift. Great, beautiful, moving, exciting experience. She's so brilliant!!! One of my favorites violin concerts.

this will forever be the greatest recording of this piece to date! janine is the only performer who truly makes sparks fly while performing this work.

LOL When you've worked your ass off all week, and are as tired and fed up as you could ever imagine life could leave you...then there is this! Tchaikovsky! :) I'll not get into a discussion on nuance and other silliness. Ha! I can hear soul. I can hear heart. I can hear longing. It is almost, just almost perfection itself! :) Makes me feel alive!!! As tired and worn out as I am. Ha! Just what is good music supposed to do? It lifts you up off the floor and gives you hope and strength! :) It reanimates your very soul.

Even though Tchaikovsky was born 103 years after that precious fiddle. I believe the great composer's soul lived inside of it. Janine speaks to him through the F hole, however in broken English, about Auer. I thank God for Janine and that wonderful orchestra.

I was blown away by this performance. The first time I ever heard her. It won‘t be the last.

HAHAHA omg, i'm so glad i noticed this guy having a great time doing a little dance to her violin at 27:36

This so well done, very nice. The soloist is awesome and the orchestra plays wonderfully, thanks for sharing

She sets the place aflame wlth her vivacity, a vitality , fury and tenderness that draws the orchestra, as much as the fine conductor does, onto her plane of imagination and mastery, yet all done with a modesty and total fidelity to the composer.

Janine Jansen-so gifted! Not only with the violin, but in feminine beauty also. It makes for a magnificent presentation of an outstandingly beautiful creation by Tchaikovsky.

This concerto is one of my of favorites by any violinist, but especially Janine Jansen.Her performance is magnificent .

Janine is brilliant! But that's also for the orchestra. What a great sound!

She is incredible! full of energy and total expression... thank you for making us feel the music!

In the Netherlands we have world champions. In football we did have Johan Cruijff, in car racing F1 we have Max Verstappen and in violin playing we have Janine Jansen.

There is no greater violinist in the world today. Unbelievably stunning, heartfelt, sensitive and always genuine.

We know we're in for something special from the moment this performance begins... Jarvi is so sensitive with the opening phrase. Then Janine steps in and plays with such lyrical beauty - it really is lovely. It's also great to see such a connection between soloist and orchestra. It feels as if they are playing chamber music sometimes. All the drunkenness of the Finale and all the gorgeousness of the slow movement are intact. A truly great performance and, for my money, one of the best you'll hear. Tchaikovsky wins again...!

merci pour ce moment

Janine is far and away my favorite violinist. And an incredible musician.

I've watched a lot of orchestra videos, but this is the best-filmed I've seen. Focussing on the music pages then back-focussing to the performer's violin; audience faces then pull back. The star rather shines herself--wow.

What a powerful, expressive, magical performance by this great young beautiful artist! It was if I was hearing this violin concerto for the first time. I literally have fallen in love with this great work again, and with her playing...and with her! Art and love are one again!!!

Beautifully done :) Always excellent to hear Janine Jansen and watch her play .

This is in my opinion the best rendition of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece! I absolutely adore Janine Jansen! (Perhaps this video will get more views (which it deserves) if "violin concerto in D major, op. 35" is included in the tags.)

That was absolutely perfect. Hands down my favorite performer of Tchaikovsky violin concerto. Incredibly beautiful. Ich liebe dich, Janine!!

A Russian Composer, a Dutch Violinist, a German orchestra and a Conductor from Estonia! Couldn't have asked for more to this outstanding Concerto and brilliant performance! This Violin Concerto by Tchaikovsky can never die!

Thank you Janine once more You give us reasons to believe in life. And the masterful conductor of the orchestra as well. The spirit of music is here incarnated.

so many great female soloist! she's one of the tops.

6:26 and 9:09 so majestic.. goosebumps!! 15:21 to 15:28 makes my eyes well and scalp crawl every time

An absolute magnificent performance, totally transfixed, never had the total pleasure of Janine before

Nunca me voy a cansar de escuchar a Janine tocando Tchaikovsky

My mother played 2nd violin in 6 states and 3 countries. She was always a great admirer of this wonderful player. She always admired the way she played and how she always played with the orchestra members and the audiences. This piece was always one of her favorite pieces. Janine does one of the best renditions of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with an amazing chamber group that she conducts while playing one of the best lead violins ever

For some reason I feel like Janine and Clara Andrada de la Calle had serious musical chemistry. I could listen to that violin and flute all day long. I could see them sitting in vast, lush meadows playing together in harmony.

Janine Jansen is a privileged one, as a superb violin player she can for a moment keep the souls of great composers in the cage of her heart and set them free beautifully through the magic of her gifted fingers

Magnífica Janine, magnífico Paavo Järvi y magnífica orquesta.-

I don't much about music but my god she make the violin sing like a woman in pain and suffering as well as joy. I just don't know what to make of it. She is something else.

Janine Jansen blijft maar groeien in haar vioolspel, en sleept hier heel het orkest in haar enorme enthousiasme en toewijding mee, zonder in sentimentaliteit te vervallen. Gewoonweg een fantastische uitvoering! Tchaikovsky zelf zou trots en hevig ontroerd toeluisteren...

I am afraid next time this concerto is in Public Radio, I will get a ticket for speeding. My mind soars with it, and my heart beats like a storm. If I get home before it is over, a take an extra round, I can't stop listening from the beginning to the end. I am not a musician, what it means that she communicate so much through this interpretation that even a amateur like me, can.t get enough of it. Delightful, dreamy. .

Grandiose, somptueux, inoubliable.... Merci

La bravoure et l'expression sont au rendez-vous et que d'émotion et de tendresse dans la mélodie.

I am by no means an expert on classical music but the build up to 6:25 is so intense that when I hear the intial climax to the piece I always just cry my eyes out... My mum told me a story that when she was listening to this in her bedroom she was dancing to it and kicked her slipper off and scratched the record but unfortunately it was the same night her dad died unexpectedly of a heart attack and this song has always had that attachment for me of my poor mum feeling the joy of this music and then sudden fall of heart break...

never get bored to get here, this really is my kinda mood booster

To see and listen Janine and the flute plater lady, is like having a walk in Paradise. In fact, I expect to see then in Glory.

I always feel tears when triumphant orchestra joins in first time. Have since Perlman did it w/ Ormandy long ago now!

Janine Jansen is coming to Tokyo very soon to perform this very piece by Tchaikovsky on Friday 9th May at Suntory Hall. The accompanying band will be Boston Symphony Orchestra under Charles Dutoit replacing Lorin Maazel, who has cancelled his long haul flight to Japan owing to "an accident" (with no details of his plight yet given). I bought a ticket for it quite some time ago because I assumed that I'd be able to enjoy Symphonie fantastique in Maazel's unique interpretation. I've already heard Dutoit conduct Philadelphia Orchestra in Suntory Hall, and though I have nothing against him, I had reservations about retaining the ticket as the Japanese promoter is accepting a full refund right now. Well, having heard her play on this footage for nearly 45 minutes, I think I'll attend the concert by all means! Thanks for the upload, hotmifi!

unique! out of this world Janine Jansen! I'm listening to all her available concerts and she reaches perfection all the time

This rendition just has so much personality! Great playing and so much emotion.
