Album insights
The four musicians of the Janoska Ensemble have crafted a stunningly virtuosic and deeply personal interpretation of modern musical works through their unique Janoska Style. Bound by family ties and endless musical creativity, they traverse a vast range from popular classical pieces to original compositions and distinctive blends of jazz, pop, and world music. Rooted in classical performance, their debut recording showcases a spirited and humor-infused soundtrack inspired by Vienna's cultural melting pot. Their joyous playing pushes boundaries, blending virtuosic classical pieces from Waxman, Paganini, and Sarasate with Viennese compositions by Kreisler, operetta themes by Strauss, Csárdás, and Balkan music. Their musical journey also extends across the Atlantic, featuring Tango, Rumba, and jazz improvisations.
