Our Artist in Residence Janine Jansen loves chamber music – because the musicians grow together, develop a shared understanding of sound, and come closer to one another in a special way. “Trust not only creates a feeling of security,” says the violinist, “but also the possibility to take risks.” Together with members of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the pianist Sunwook Kim, she performs Johannes Brahms’s late-Romantic Trio in E-flat major, in which the composer combines the violin with two of his favourite instruments: horn and piano. Bound to the same era’s ideal of sound is George Enescu’s String Octet, a monumental work full of intimate moments and grand symphonic gestures.
