It must have been an amazing dream come true for Janine Jansen to play twelve of the finest Stradivarius violins made available to her for ten days or so to record this album, and to have it filmed by Gerry Fox in London. Ten days to master these precious gems is certainly a very short time, even if the outcome is preserved forever by this documentary available online in late 2021.
The twelve precious instruments travelled from all over the world to realise this whimsical project. Some of these twelve "Strads" lifted from their museum display cases have not been played for decades, others belong or have belonged to legendary virtuosi, and some have probably never been recorded. It was then necessary to devise a programme that would best illustrate the characteristics and personality of the individual violins. The rather original choices eschew Bach, which Janine Jansen plays so well, to focus on a dozen composers perhaps not all the most obvious: Falla, Tchaikovsky, Kreisler, Schumann, Brahms, Elgar, Vieuxtemps, Rachmaninov, Szymanovski, Ravel, Suk and Heuberger.
There is no need to look for coherence here, but just to appreciate the sound of each instrument which, we have to admit, represents a real challenge for a non-specialist audience. Antonio Pappano, as good a pianist as he is conductor, uses a wide range of sounds to enhance these twelve vignettes, original pieces or arrangements of famous works. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Album review
It must have been an amazing dream come true for Janine Jansen to play twelve of the finest Stradivarius violins made available to her for ten days or so to record this album, and to have it filmed by Gerry Fox in London. Ten days to master these precious gems is certainly a very short time, even if the outcome is preserved forever by this documentary available online in late 2021.
The twelve precious instruments travelled from all over the world to realise this whimsical project. Some of these twelve "Strads" lifted from their museum display cases have not been played for decades, others belong or have belonged to legendary virtuosi, and some have probably never been recorded. It was then necessary to devise a programme that would best illustrate the characteristics and personality of the individual violins. The rather original choices eschew Bach, which Janine Jansen plays so well, to focus on a dozen composers perhaps not all the most obvious: Falla, Tchaikovsky, Kreisler, Schumann, Brahms, Elgar, Vieuxtemps, Rachmaninov, Szymanovski, Ravel, Suk and Heuberger.
There is no need to look for coherence here, but just to appreciate the sound of each instrument which, we have to admit, represents a real challenge for a non-specialist audience. Antonio Pappano, as good a pianist as he is conductor, uses a wide range of sounds to enhance these twelve vignettes, original pieces or arrangements of famous works. © François Hudry/Qobuz
