"Conductor renowned for performances of Mahler, Strauss and the Russian romantics with the world’s great orchestras", - Barry Millington.
Players in all the orchestras he conducted had difficulty matching his energy levels, but Jansons drove himself in the belief that he had not reached his peak, that there was still more to learn. It was perhaps that unflagging commitment, combined with his search for truth, that made him the outstanding conductor he was.
Jansons’ musical focus was large-scale orchestral works by 19th-century central and eastern European composers including Mahler, Dvořák, Bartok, Brahms and Shostakovich. He was known for close attention to detail in rehearsal and made extensive pre-concert sound checks, listening from different points in the hall while one of the musicians wielded the baton and even adjusting the position of players’ chairs to get the sound he wanted.

A superb orchestral trainer, Jansons's Bavarian RSO was praised in Gramophone by Richard Osborne when reviewing the Beethoven cycle: 'As an ensemble, Jansons’s Bavarian orchestra is in a similar league to the prewar BBC SO under Toscanini or the Berlin Philharmonic at the time of Karajan’s celebrated 1961-62 cycle. The string playing is of superlative quality, its transparency enhanced by the dispensations favoured by Jansons: antiphonally divided violins, double basses to the left, cellos in front of the podium, violas to the right.
