Julia would like to know that our Chinese friend who drove over miles to meet us in Cincinnati for her Dvorak performance, became a JF fan, when having never heard any western classical music, I played her DVD of the Four Seasons for him. When I returned to the living room after cooking his Kung Po Chicken, I found him on the edge of his seat, and under his breath saying "gosh" , "wow", "oooh" and the like. When the performance was over, he jumped up and amost shouting, said: " Where you buy that?!" My wife and I gave it to him as a going away present when he left Albany NY to begin his PhD studies at Ohio State. My wife and I traveled over mile to hear that (wonderful) performance, but I told Julia that if she had recorded it for PentaTone, I probably would not have spe

L'interprète a enregistré les "Caprices" de Paganini et sera au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées le 13 novembre.
On peut avoir l'apparence anodine d'une jolie femme blonde aux yeux bleus et être une vraie curiosité musicale : la violoniste allemande Julia Fischer a réussi le défi d'interpréter dans la même soirée le Concerto n° 3 pour violon, de Camille Saint-Saëns et le Concerto en la mineur pour piano de Grieg.

Laurie Niles October 5, , PM &#; Picture an eight-year-old Julia Fischer, sitting in a church pew with the music in her lap, listening to the 24 Caprices by Niccolò Paganini for the first time, played by Austrian violinist Thomas Zehetmair. This scene is described in the liner notes for Julia's recently-released recording of the Paganini 24 Caprices. After seeing that performance, she resolved to learn them all, a task which she completed by the age of As most of us fiddle players know, this takes considerable work and will – these pieces are arguably the most fiendishly difficult in all the violin literature. Now at age 27, she has re-thought the Caprices for their musical value; in her words, "I approached them as I would a Mozart concerto." I was curious about her approach to these pieces, and about how her feelings about them had changed over the years. Julia took some time to answer my questions about the Caprices for readers, to talk about their challenges, and to share her journey with this music that is so important to the violin repertoire.
