[Jackiw] conquered all its [Sibelius Violin Concerto’s] formidable technical challenges, even those daunting ascending scales in multiple stops in the finale. His rhythm is taut, his intonation secure even across the widest leaps; he can make the violin sing, but he can also make it speak. What is more important than technique, which can be acquired by diligence, is insight, and that can’t be learned. This is Jackiw’s greatest gift. When he plays, it is not all about him, or all about the violin – it is all about the music. He knows what he wants to do with every phrase, and some of it is marked by heartstopping purity of intent.
