Dylana Jenson began the violin at 2 years and 10 months old with her mother. Dreams of a musical future were fulfilled with a career and recording contracts until our marriage. Our union caused her manager, RCA, and the donor of her Guarneri Del Gesu violin to withdraw their support.
Here is Dylana's legendary recording with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra
After decades of financial and artistic struggle, Dylana discovered Sam Zygmuntowicz's violins, which once again gave her a voice with his clear, pure-toned, and projecting violins.
Today Dylana has the chance to fulfill one of her musical dreams: to record the three Brahms Violin Sonatas with a pianist that has inspired and supported her artistic vision - John Blacklow.
What will be unique and historical about this project?
Each of the three sonatas will be played on a different Samuel Zygmuntowicz violin. The first was made for Dylana in 1995 and the last one in 2021.
