Extractions: Interviewer: Along with Milstein, what violinists inspired you? Does that inspiration find its way into your own playing? Jenson: Interviewer: How did you start playing the violin? Jenson: I started on the violin when I was two and-a-half with my mother, who is not a violinist. She learned how to play the violin from library books Interviewer: Really! Jenson: she would teach herself the night before and teach us the next day, with another brother and sister, the three of us; initiation by just doing it. She taught me for a few years, and then she got up to the Bach Double with me and then couldn't keep up with me, so then I went to a regular teacher. I studied with Manuel Compinsky until I was twelve. He was a wonderful teacher: He really did what my father called "supervised practice." That is, I would have four or five lessons a week, and he would practice with me. What he taught me was how to practice. For example, just to say to somebody, "well, go home and work on your intonation." People have no idea what that requires, and this is what Mr. Compinsky taught me, was how to practice and he was meticulous. I remember many lessons in which I would be exhausted (laughs), practically falling asleep, but he wouldn't let one note go by if it was out of tune. He was such an incredible teacher. Interviewer: Were you formally trained in an musical institute, such as Juilliard or Curtis?

Extractions: Interview with Violinist Dylana Jenson At the age of 11, Dylana Jenson performed the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and at 17 she became the first American woman and the youngest ever to win the Silver Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. She has received unparalled critical acclaim for her performances with major orchestras throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Latin America, Australia and Russia. Hailed by the New York Times as a "mature master," and as "one of the few extraordinary violin soloists in the world" by Frankfurt's Ruhr-Nachrichten , Dylana Jenson is one of America's premiere violinists today. From her acre-and-a-half of "paradise" (as she calls it) in New Mexico, where she resides with her husband, conductor David Lockington, and children, Dylana gave us this interview in the Summer of 1998. Interviewer: As a soloist, what is your own personal view towards musical interpretation? To what extent is technique important in communicating a piece of music? Dylana Jenson: As far as interpretation goes, I really think that the technical is only a vehicle for expression. If you make people aware of the technical as being awe-inspiring, then you've really lost the point of what interpretation is all about. So, even when I'm playing Paganini, I feel it in a musical way, and I hope that the technical should serve the musical expression.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy, Conductor. RCA Victrola 7730-2-RV (Digital Stereo/U.S. Release) U.S. Version Out of Print.

Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso not available on European release. This recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto by Dylana Jenson and Eugene Ormandy definitely holds a place in my pantheon of the "ten records I'd have to take with me to a desert isle." In fact, I even remember the day I purchased it at the Waxie Maxie's in Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1983, because I also bought two other "desert isle" records: Cheap Trick at Budokan and a 1/2-speed master of the 1954 Fritz Reiner legendary performance of Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathrustra with the Chicago Symphony.
