Janine Jansen and the London Symphony Orchestra

The London Symphony Orchestra are conducted by Gianandrea Noseda in Prokofiev's bleak Sixth Symphony. Janine Jansen joins the orchestra for Sibelius's Violin Concerto.

Janine Jansen joins the London Symphony Orchestra for Sibelius's Violin Concerto.

The eloquent Dutch violinist joins one of her favourite orchestras at the Barbican in a programme entitled, "Powerful stories from cold countries." Also on the programme, Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony, well-received at its Leningrad premiere in October 1947 but cold-shouldered in Moscow only a month later. Prokofiev let slip on one occasion that the symphony had been conceived as a reflection on the destruction of the recently concluded Great Patriotic War: 鈥淣ow we are rejoicing in our great victory, but each of us has wounds that cannot be healed. One has lost those dear to him, another has lost his health. These must not be forgotten." Prokofiev had thought of dedicating the symphony to the memory of Ludwig van Beethoven. So it's appropriate that Gianandrea Noseda, the LSO's Principal Guest Conductor, opens the concert with Beethoven's turbulent but lofty Coriolanus Overture.
