Overview
Janine Jansen closes her Perspectives series with a recital programme of deep emotionand virtuosity. The evening begins with Messiaen’s Theme and Variations, originallywritten as a wedding present for his first wife, the violinist Claire Delbos.
Schubert’sFantasy for violin and piano was inspired by Josef Slavík, hailed as ‘a second Paganini’by Chopin. Jansen welcomes three close musical friends in Messiaen’s haunting Quartetfor the End of Time, written and first performed in a German prisoner-of-war camp.
