Janine Jansen Sibelius recording anyone heard it ?

[Barbirollians]

Anyone heard this accompanied by Mr Makela and the Oslo PO I think ?

[Barbirollians]

I'll take that as a no then .

[HighlandDougie]

Sorry, Barbs, yes. I have the CD (MQA version bought in HK). Bought for the Prokofiev rather than the Sibelius. Nothing with which to scare the horses à la Pat Kop. Very fine fiddle-playing - with good accompaniment from KM and the Oslo Phil. Excellent recording. I've played it quite often in the past few months.

[Pulcinella]

I probably did when it was a new release, but I haven't kept it in my favo(u)rites.

If you’re thinking of investing, do not hesitate. In fact, I can’t think of a recording of hers that I wouldn’t immediately put at the top of the pile. She’s an absolutely marvellous player, imho.

[Barbirollians]

It's on its way . I agree - when I bought her Brahms concerto after a very favourable Gramophone review I swiftly found myself snapping up her other concerto recordings .

[Pulcinella]

Just re-streamed and understood why I didn't keep it as a favourite.
Not at all for me, I'm sorry to say.
I really don't like the violin tone (or indeed the playing).
But then, she is up against Ida Handel....
