There are moments in a musician’s life which can be thought of as career defining. Janine Jansen’s current collaboration with Antonio Pappano, both in the concert hall and in the recording studio, could well be considered such a moment. In this series of concerts with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe touring the length and breadth of Europe, Jansen is certainly delving the depths of musical expressiveness while still having immense fun.
