Je zal op 17-jarige leeftijd je succesvolle debuut maken met het Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orkest onder leiding van Riccardo Chailly en nationaal en internationaal verschillende eerste prijzen hebben gewonnen. Dan kun je wat. Wij hebben het over de zeer getalenteerde en misschien moeten we al zeggen Nederlandse stervioliste Lisa Jacobs (1985).
Luister maar eens naar haar onlangs uitgebrachte debuut album. Drie virtuoze werken voor viool en piano, twee van de Belgische componist Eugène Ysaye: Poème Elégiaque op.12 en Extase op.21, alsmede de als huwelijksgeschenk geschreven Sonata in A majeur van César Franck voor zijn vriend Ysaÿe.
Lisa bespeelt een haar particulier ter beschikking gestelde viool van Francesco Ruggieri uit 1683. De pianiste Ksenia Kouzmenko begeleidt Lisa op dit album op meer dan voorbeeldige wijze.
Kamermuziek van wereldniveau!

Poème, works for violin & piano

The violin works on this CD have a particularly relation to each other. The CD opens with Ysaÿe’s Poème Elégiaque op. 12: the name is derived from the middle section of the piece, which depicts a passing funeral procession accompanied by tolling bells. It was ultimately also played at Ysaÿe’s own funeral. Extase op. 21 reveals the expressivity and depth of his sound idiom, once again demonstrating his tone-painting ability. The CD concludes with César Franck’s Sonata in A major which was composed as a wedding present for Eugène Ysaye. The young violinist Lisa Jacobs has performed these works in many of her concerts, since she was acquainted to those at the age of sixteen.
Dutch violin virtuoso Lisa Jacobs started playing the violin at the age of 6. She was accepted in the Young Talent class of the Utrecht Conservatory and continued studying with Ilya Grubert at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, At the age of only 17, Lisa made her successful debut with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under the baton of Riccardo Chailly.
Lisa Jacobs has won several first prizes in both national and international competitions, one of them being at the 2nd International Jascha Heifetz Violin Competition in Lithuania 2005, where she received the Audience prize as well. Lisa has followed masterclasses with Thomas Brandis, Julian Rachlin, Philip Graffin and Maxim Vengerov, which was broadcasted on Dutch television.
