Janine Jansen + Janacekbeer

August 21, 2006 at 11:01 AM

Yesterday I heard with my parents the 2th violinconcerto of Shostakowitsch played by Janine Jansen, who had the same white dress with 2 pink flowers as she wears during a concert with the Chinese National Orchestra when she played the piece Lark Ascending of Vaugham Williams. She played it with a lot of temperament and bowed her skees and than jumped up with her head, throwing her hair behind.

During my musicsummercourse, we had a day free. I used it to make a long travel of 4 hours to Brno, in the east of the Czech Republic to get in a supermarket called "Tesco" my Janacek beer. After I loaded 4 crates of 20 bottles of 1/2 litre, I drove on for 1 hour east to the brewery in Uhersky Brod, http://www.pivovar-janacek.cz/INDEX_E.htm to buy more different sorts of Janacek beer, as I photographed later on my work for my computer with violinist.com as background.
I think the brewer Janacek has a great resemblance in the composer Leos Janacek, because they both have a moustache.

LOL! Janacek Beer! God, I love the Czechs! :)
That's my favorite photo of Janine so far, until one from a French beach turns up.
I'm glad you made a pilgrimage to the Janacek brewery and showed us your photos.
You remembered what dress she wore??!!!
yes, because I remeber that during Lark Ascending with the Chinese orchestra it would be better if she wore a kimono instead of that white dress with 2 flowers on it.
