Julia Fischer is ranked as one of the leading violinists of the day, captivating audiences world-wide with her music. She was born in Munich in 1983, of German-Slovak parents, and began her musical training at just four years old. At nine, she began receiving lessons from the renowned violin teacher Ana Chumachenco. In 2006, she was appointed professor at the “Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst” in Frankfurt am Main. Winning the international Yehudi Menuhin Competition in 1995, with the great violinist himself conducting, was a significant milestone in her lightning career. The following year, she won the 8th Eurovision Competition for Young Instrumentalists. Since then, Julia Fischer has performed with reputed conductors and leading orchestras throughout the world.

KHACHATURIAN / PROKOFIEV / GLAZUNOV: Violin Concertos


For her first disc, the young German prodigy Julia Fischer chose a repertoire that suits her perfectly. In the Khachaturian concerto, she combines impetuosity and reflection as much as this romantic, exotic work allows. Her direction of the melody is always within the limits of the best taste... Very different and imaginative in the details [is] the First Concerto of Prokofiev... dazzling. The orchestra is very remarkable.

MOZART: Violin Concertos Nos. 3 and 4


Disc of the Month, BBC Music Magazine (September 2005)
Fischer does it again....every note gives the impression of being there for a reason, articulated through attack,, dynamic, phrasing and timbre, but at the same time integrated into the whole. performance*****, sound*****
--Martin Cotton, BBC Music Magazine

BRAHMS: Violin Concerto / Double Concerto


This is undoubtedly my SACD of the year and I commend to all who love these concertos as well as to the many admirers of the charismatic Julia Fischer.
--Graham Williams, SA-CD.net

MOZART: Violin Concertos Nos. 1, 2 and 5


I simply cannot say enough about Julia Fischer's playing, and once again, Pentatone captures Mss Fischer in all her glory. Excellent sound, superb playing and perfect balance between the soloist and the orchestra. There is not a lot I can say about Mozart and his concertos for violin that has not been said before. If you like Mozart and enjoy Miss Fischer's playing then I highly recommend this SACD.

MENDELSSOHN: Piano Trios Nos. 1 and 2


This new recording is irresistible, with the three players caught in a wholly natural ambience. It’s always a good sign when you don’t want to stop playing a disc long enough to write about it.
--Harriet Smith, Gramophone

MOZART: Sinfonia concertante, K. 364 / Concertone in C major, K. 190 / Rondo in C major, K. 373


 Julia Fischer has previously recorded the violin concertos for PentaTone (5186 064 and 5186 064); it will come as no surprise to anyone acquainted with those fine discs that the present issue has a legitimate claim to being the best Mozart orchestral recording of the past year.
--Stepen Habington. La Scena Musicale

TCHAIKOVSKY: Violin Concerto / Souvenir d'un lieu cher / Serenade melancolique / Valse - Scherzo



Today’s violin soloists are so well trained that we tend to forget the difference between great technique and great timbre. Fischer has both…..So if you’re looking for a splendid new Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto that offers superior artistic values and excellent SACD surround sonics, this is definitely the one to get.
--Davis Hurwitz, ClassicsToday

BACH: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin


“Often the jaw simply drops. Can this really be one violinist performing? But it is. So give triple thanks: to Bach’s genius, to Fischer’s exciting gifts, and, not least, the formidable character of her violin itself, a 1750 Guadagnini.”
--Geoff Brown, The Times (London)


*Offer good from April 1 to 14, 2009 only.
