Biography
Over the years, Janine Jansen has established herself as one of the leading violinists of her generation. Born into a musical family in Soest on January 7, 1978, she studied the instrument from the age of six, and came to prominence in 2001 when she performed Brahms's Violin Concerto, Op. 77 as soloist with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland. After winning the Dutch Music Prize in 2003 for her first recital recorded for the Decca label, followed by a chamber version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons concertos with her brother Maarten Jansen and father Jan Jansen in 2004 (ranked No. 12 on the Billboard classical chart), Janine Jansen joined the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist program in 2005, performing with the BBC Proms Orchestra, conducted by Roger Norrington. In 2007, she joined her favorite partners Julian Rachlin, Yuri Bashmet, Mischa Maisky and Itamar Golan for a set of Shostakovich pieces, and performed for the first time in the United States with the New York Philharmonic. With her prestigious violin, the 1727 Stradivarius "Barrère", on loan to her, the soloist tours the world, recording compositions by Bach, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Beethoven, Britten, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Schubert, Schönberg, Brahms, Bartók and others in the Beau Soir (2010) and Stradivari (2021) recitals, with Antonio Pappano at the piano. In 2019, the violinist receives the Johannes Vermeer Award from the Dutch Ministry of Culture for her loyalty to Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw since 1997. In 2024, the album Sibelius - Prokofiev: Violin Concertos, recorded with Finnish conductor Klaus Mäkelä and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, reaches No. 6 in the UK classical music charts.
