JULIA FISCHER Violin “The Brilliance of her sound is breathtaking, unbe- lievable how immaculately clean and vivacious her play- ing was, with what drive she performed the “Bohemian” passages of Dvorak’s violin concerto. Though perfect con- ceming technique, her playing is all but mechanical. All this was presented by Ms. Fischer with an amazing Cool ness. .Hornberger Morgenpost “The other revelation of the evening was the excel- lent playing of Julia Fischer, a 19-year old German Vio linist, in the Sibelius. Ms. Fischer, a Maazel protegee, played with full and attractive tone, precise rhythm and Intonation as well as a fine flair.” New York Times Ms. Fischer has achieved critical acclaim all over the world for her precise and expressive artistry.
