I’m so freaking tired of all these people who think they know everything even when they’re not involved, and who like to make all these nonsense assumptions.I would never refer to JJ as “frail” – she is one of the most gutsy players and musicians – once, when listening on the radio to a Tchaikovsky performance (and not knowing who was the soloist) I was riveted and could not turn it off as it was so spontaneous and inventive. Share on facebook. May she be well soon. I’m sure you heard that she had to cancel Luxembourg, incl.

The Concertgebouworkest announced today that the soloist for the first concert of its Autumn season, Janine Jansen, had withdrawn due to illness. All power to Janine Jansen, and I agree with other comments here – take a break once in a while, be a human being!Dear Norman, Personally, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from posting negative publicity about Janine.

It’s makes her look like totally unprofessional, something I don”t think she is at all.That’s what I said — if the offer is insufficient, don’t take it.I happen to know that JJ was seriously ill and still unable to travel until 15.9. because we had to help her to find an emergency physician. share this.
