Jansen is the most subtle of interpreters, and always a sensitive partner. In the Second Violin Concerto, she keeps sentiment at bay...She responds cannily to Prokofiev's pared-back orchestral forces. This is not the usual patchwork of ideas, but an argument that Vladimir Jurowski keeps urgently on the move with the LPO soloists...Jansen's colleagues in the companion pieces are her equals, too.

This splendidly recorded performance of the Second Concerto accentuates its stark and sudden contrasts...In the Sonata for two violins, Jansen and Brovtsyn employ a wide range of tone colour, matching each other in expansiveness and virtuosity.

Jansen’s playing is utterly beautiful and intelligently searching.

[Jurowski] judges the variety of weight and the palette of colour in the orchestral sonority ideally, and is ready with the essential instrumental dialogues with the soloist in the finale. The concerto is not exactly under-represented in the catalogue, but this penetrating, luminous and dynamic interpretation is one to linger over.

her silvery tone and searching musicianship ensure maximum intelligence and beauty...[Golan and Brovtsyn] play with Jansen as if joined at the hip. Whether the music’s fiery or delicate, this superb disc, gorgeously recorded, should give lasting pleasure.

this is an intelligent, challenging anthology, unafraid to show us Prokofiev’s underappreciated darker side. Beautifully recorded too.
