About

Julia Fischer confirms her position as a fore¬most virtuoso of the violin with her assured ascent of an Everest of the solo violin repertoire – Paganini’s towering and fiendishly challenging 24 Caprices.

“The Caprices represent twenty-four moods, little musical ideas, each one different, each one appealing.” (Julia Fischer)

As her second Decca album, the Caprices is advantageously positioned to build on the success of her Bach Concertos release in 2009. “… an intuitive Bachian. Her phrasing is elegant and she has an unerring feeling for Bach’s broad architectural melodic contours.” (BBC Music Magazine)

Julia Fischer, one of classical music’s most technically accomplished, poised, and versatile violinists, is an artist of musical integrity. Such is the range of her talent that she could enjoy a career as a concert pianist. Look out for her first DVD (a simultaneous release - see here) in which she performs a stunning Saint-Saëns 3rd Violin Concerto as well as Grieg’s Piano Concerto.
