Janine Jansen - Beethoven & Britten Violin Concertos

Acclaimed Dutch violinist Janine Jansen fulfills a long-held ambition to record Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto alongside the monumental Beethoven Violin Concerto. Janine has championed the Britten Concerto since she first played it nearly ten years ago. The work, composed while Britten was in his 20's and his first complete composition after arriving in the US in 1939, features both technically brilliant and elegantly lyrical elements.
