[@eojjeol_markcha]

the best Mendelssohn performance I have ever heard. Can't believe it has been 10 years !

[@frederikad2456]

Her playing is not only precise and technically flawless, but also powerful, authentically passionate and creatively genius in an elegantly restrained and mature way. I rarely hear better versions of most if not all of the concertos she has tackled. I admire how her notes and tones are nuanced, and, in an almost effortless fashion, rich in textures, speed, and intensity. Humanity is lucky to have her. Thank you for the video.

For those who do not know, the "Basilique-Cathédrale de Saint-Denis" is the first gothic church in the world and the place where nearly all the french kings has been buried. There has always been a catholic church at this exact place since the IV° century! Great place to play classical music !

Yes, and what a magnificent place to play great music! When the camera is on the conductor, you can see some of the earliest stained glass windows ever created, in the birthplace of the Gothic style.

Not many know she's a marvelous pianist who can dispatch the Grieg Piano Concerto as beautifully as her pro pianistic counterparts. It's here on KZbin if anyone is interested. She's a true musical genius in every sense of the word--and stunning to boot.

[@jonnyhog1002]

Music for the soul

[@nickyork8901]

Every note with passion, intent and perfect technique - she really is at the top of her game (and everyone else's). At several points the orchestra string section players are so engrossed in listening to her beautiful phrasing they forget they are about to come in and have to wake up quickly. This is real music making, very fresh and deeply felt, despite it being music that is so often played.

[@richardsmallwood7940]

My great great great Grandfather,Ferdinand David, helped his friend Felix Mendelssohn Write and arrange this Oeuvre over six years, completing it in early 1845 when it was first performed by Ferdinand David in Leipzig. I believe that he would have bowed down to Miss Fischer wonderful rendition, I only wish my mother was still alive to hear her!

[@gardenphoto]

I think Mendelssohn, himself, would have given Mrs. Fischer a low, sweeping bow as well! Hats off to your distant relative (who might have even heard Chopin, Schumann and the young Brahms perform!) and all hail one of the greatest musicians of this (or any!) century; Julia Fischer is an amazing violinist, pianist, music professor (Germany's youngest ever!) and force of nature.

[@user-uh5re3co6j]

Unbelievable artistry ! All beauty comes together here .

[@ekklectriccurrent2094]

Amazing! I love her ability to play quickly between the frog and middle of the bow. Not enough violinists play this way. I also love the way she keeps her body loose and fluid, playing the instrument with entire body. Keeping the knees unlocked is wonderful for avoiding spinal pain. Bravo, Julia! Impressive!

[@igorm500]

I think both Julia Fischer and Janine Jensen enchant audiences with their marvelous musicality, passionate sensitive playing, flawless technique, as well as by their great physical beauty.

+oswald wellman Wiener Zeitung Kultur 09.06.2006 Pausenfoyer Von Christoph Irrgeher und Edwin Baumgartner (eb) Vorbei die Zeiten des Jugendwahns, in denen Vierzehnjährige als die Superstars von morgen angepriesen wurden, um mit sechzehn zugunsten eines Dreizehnjährigen fallen gelassen zu werden. Der Klassik-Superstar von heute ist jung, weiblich und hat Model-Maße. Sex sells. Mit Können allein läuft gar nichts mehr. Julia Fischer etwa. Eben ist sie von einer Blinddarmentzündung genesen, und schon tritt sie heute, Freitag, und am Samstag im Konzerthaus auf. Aber den ehrenwerten Tempel der Hochkultur könnte sie mühelos mit dem Catwalk verttauschen. Ja, natürlich kann sie spielen - und wie! Keine Ohren hat, wer das bezweifelt. Aber blind ist, wer nicht merkt, wie toll Julia Fischer aussieht. Das weiß auch ihr Management: Mehr als 10 Fotos gibts auf ihrer Home page (.....) zu bewundern. Und nur sechs Hörbeispiele. Aber Julia Fischer ist nicht einmal die Spitze des Eisbergs! Allein diese Violinistinnen. . . Lidia Baich, Leila Josefowicz und natürlich Hilary Hahn sind nicht nur Top-Geigerinnen, sie wären auch Top-Models. Natürlich hat das ganze geigende Fräuleinwunder mit Vanessa Mae begonnen. Aber selbst sie ist nichts gegen die Finnin Linda Lampenius, die sich mit Künstlernamen Linda Brava nennt. Die gar nicht brave Brava also hat einen Gastauftritt in der TV-Serie "Baywatch" gehabt - und danach den Bikini für den "Playboy" ganz ausgezogen. Vielleicht sucht sie ja eine neue Hauptbeschäftigung.
