	Greg Sandow -- Mariss Jansons and the Pittsburgh Symphony
		Mariss Jansons, in his first season as the Pittsburgh Symphony's music director, had vivid, alert fun with this, almost visibly sculpting color with his hands.
		Jansons seems to inhabit a world of unmeasurable nuance, where, between sounds that are very soft and sounds that are all but inaudible, there are more steps than most other conductors find in the full dynamic range, from soft to very loud.
		Jansons is one of the deepest and most spontaneous conductors alive, a man to rush out and hear.

	DSCH 9 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Symphony No. 5; Chamber Symphony
		Jansons' new Fifth is a profound re-thinking of the work, and not only in comparison with this conductor's previous recording.
		In the second movement, for example, Jansons depicts a dialogue between, on the one hand, stern lower and massed strings and brass, and on the other, a free-spirited voice in high winds and violin that sounds reluctant or unable to limit its imagination to the lines it is being ordered to parrot.
		While Jansons successfully conveys the loneliness of the slow movements, the Vienna strings sound too well-fed, and I was left feeling that little was at stake.

	Mariss Jansons - Rattle gets a rival
		Mariss Jansons, the world's most sought-after conductor, took up the baton as chief of the symphony orchestra of Bavarian Radio (BRSO), which is by common consent the best band in Germany after the Berlin Philharmonic.
		What makes Jansons unique in his metier is the intricacy of his musical touch.
		As a boy in post-war Latvia, the son of its leading conductor, he would play for hours with matchsticks which he set out in orchestral rows, moving the wooden ‘players’ around until he achieved the precision of an imagined sound.

	The Lebrecht Weekly - Mariss Jansons - High Drama on the Podium
		Like a brain surgeon, Jansons needs to be assured that all his instruments are correctly aligned before he can start to operate.
		Jansons, however, has side-stepped the top jobs and invested the best of himself in Oslo and Pittsburgh where, as music director, he has created a pair of crack ensembles.
		Four years ago, Jansons almost died on the Oslo podium, felled by a heart attack in the final pages of La Bohème. Pittsburgh's super-tech surgeons fitted a defibrillator in his chest to give his heart an electric jolt if it fails.

	Analysis: If we write Jansons, will he stay?
		Whether or not letters to Jansons will affect his decision -- should he have one to make -- rarely, if ever, has a public request such as the PSO's been used as a means to retain a maestro.
		But the PSO feels Jansons could be swayed by a demonstration of community support, given that he has expressed frustration with the number of tickets sold and the level of regional enthusiasm for the orchestra.
		Jansons has a history of heart trouble and might want to be closer to his home in St. Petersburg, Russia.

		Innocence and experience, mechanics and mystique, are as compelling a combination in a conductor as in a lover, which is one reason that musicians in top orchestras find Jansons irresistible.
		Never a forceful man, his career was slow to spark, and it was 1979 before he was recruited by Oslo, where he has cultivated a rich yet intriguingly briny tone.
		He is hungry for music, eager to return to opera - a Lady Macbeth of the Mtsenk District is mooted for Amsterdam in 2003 - and avid as ever to observe the world through the wide eyes that watched his father run the theatre in Riga.

	Jansons' future in Pittsburgh remains uncertain
		And if Jansons' chances to replace Kurt Masur are over, the reason might have less to do with Pittsburgh's devotion than with the lack of devotion reportedly exhibited by Philharmonic musicians during a concert Jansons conducted them in on Oct. 31.
		So all those admiring letters might come in handy, as might the "Mariss Jansons, Pittsburgh Loves You" message flashed on the Bayer Corporation's Mount Washington sign, and the admiring song that the Mendelssohn Choir wrote and sang for Jansons before a rehearsal for a recent concert.
		Jansons was enthusiastic about the response to the PSO's public request for fan mail when he was asked about it last month.

		In a programme consisting mainly of spectacular showpieces, he was true to his conviction, presiding with evident enjoyment over his Pittsburgh forces in an evening of superb orchestral playing guaranteed to raise the spirits of a packed Symphony Hall.
		In the first of two encores, Jansons conducted a super-refined reading of Boccherini's Minuet with his eyebrows while beaming and nodding appreciatively at his string players.
		In sum, Mariss Jansons can feel justly proud of his orchestra: this very special concert clearly thrilled and delighted those fortunate enough to be present.

		The Bruch opens with just the right dark, introverted mystery (such a different mood from the end of the Mendelssohn that you may want to pause a moment before beginning it!), the central Adagio is sheer poetry and the finale brilliantly sparkling without a hint of "look-at-me" arrogance.
		The live recordings are vivid and the audience clearly brings out the best in both soloist and orchestra, all under the caring, balanced eye of Mariss Jansons.
		Mariss Jansons leads the Berlin Philharmonic in two splendid performances of both concerti, replete with vibrant playing from the winds, brass and strings.

		Even though they were lifelong friends, there was a great contrast between Arthur Honegger and Francis Poulenc, two members of the French group of composers known as "Les Six." The former a French-speaking Swiss Protestant whose family came from the Zuricher Oberland and the latter a Catholic, but frivolous Parisian.
