Haven't seen Julia Fischer for a long time on any latest video. Good to see her playing one of the most difficult and demanding violin concerto piece. 🎻🎶

[@jimyoung9262]

Same here. I was wondering if there was some sort of problem. It's good to see her still performing. She is one of the greats of the current generation.

[@rebeccaklempner9666]

She still gives concerts all the time, but most concerts aren't filmed. Also, she doesn't perform quite as much as most soloists because she teaches a lot.

[@amai_316]

I love her pure and clear tone quality. Wow!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

My humble opinion is that this is the best interpretation of Sibelius violin consert I ever heard. You may have other opinions, and all of them I respect. This is only my opinion at this moment, and so it is a very fragile thing. But most of all it is my way to express my love for Julia Fischers playing in this Sibelius violin consert. Her playing is like beeing in another place, a place filled with compassion and love.

[@elvinsonespinal1663]

1,000% agree with you. I’ve heard so many other interpretations but this one is exceptional. Both from the orchestra and Julia.

[@sarah-eom]

I agree with you, too. Who can play this song as boldly and without trembling as she does? All notes sound calm and clear. This is the first time I've heard her play Sibelius, and she's the most comfortable Sibelius I've ever heard. She's not nervous at all!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

And the fact that Julia Fischer also plays the classical piano very well tells us she is a wonderful musician.

[@jimyoung9262]

It's so good to see Julia playing again! Wonderful performance. Orchestral play was also excellent. Bravo!

[@hansjuergenkohlhaas871]

Indeed, it has been a triumphant return to Frankfurt and the hrSO in particular, we are made to sense the enthusiastic collaboration with the orchestra also by the excellent camera work!

[@simonwong2738]

[@fool3087]

She is so underrated, all the colors she make is incredible. Her bow arm is one of the best, flowing, and her sound is one of the most full that I have heard. Her playing is so clean too. The vibrato, everything. She is truly so incredible.

[@jaysparc]

I must say that Julia's sound and interpretation are second to none. She has a glorious sound. The fact that she'd did a piano concerto as well, she's the Shohei Otani of music.

[@victorip7632]

[@redrodlrowon]

That was terrifying. Julia is incredible and it is amazing to see how she has developed as an artist. I love how her sound has evolved. The intensity she played with really gives me goosebumps. I sense a deep resignation and desperation in her interpretation, making it all the more stunning. The work is already dark and brooding, but she really brings out the terrifying quality of this work like no one I've ever heard, except perhaps Oistrakh. A Gem of a recording with an orchestra that is asserting its place among the best in the world.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

You are so right!

[@MrKlemps]

She is arguably the most technically adroit, elegant, and musically thoughtful violinist before the public today. Yet she rarely performs in America. Why is that? The vagaries of the music "business" are always disheartening.

[@camille0761]

One of the best versions of this concert, along with Augustin Hadelich. It's so difficult to be clean especially in the third movement and it's the case here, with beautiful musicality.

Nordische Aufführung dieses wunderschönen und seidigen Konzerts mit spätromantischem doch genialem Ton der phrasierten Soloviolone sowie gut entsprechenden und perfekt vereinigten Tönen des genialen hr-Sinfonieorchesters.

[@achilielbritto9794]

This is my favorite concert, I have already heard and looked for all the versions or at least almost all of them available to listen to, and one of the criteria that I consider very important for this concert to be perfect is precisely the blandness of the orchestra with the soloist, the concert of Hilary Hahn is a good example of this, the synchrony of sound between the orchestra and the soloist is perfect, and I can feel the same level or even greater between this wonderful orchestra and Julia is perfect, an example of this is 2:55 when the orchestra enters and the strings come in here 3:05 the atmosphere that is created gives you an amazing suspension, and it grows until the orchestra delivers all this feeling into Julia's hands 4:12 KABUM the eyes fill with tears, the skin becomes chills... An excellent version!!! Splendid!!! Congratulations to everyone involved!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Yes, Julia Fisher is my new favourite in interpreting this violon consert. Together with Hilary Hahns version. Their interpretations are a little bit different but they both reaches the highest level in understanding Sibelius´ intentions with this music. I like your comment a lot!

[@andreapandypetrapan]

I think the correct description of the orchestral entries and passages is that they are "commensurate with the scale and intimacy of the brilliant soloist". Sibelius has written a work for two equal instruments, in effect for violin and symphony orchestra, where the later is used very judiciously and sparingly. Much as in another masterpiece - Alban Berg's Concerto. Love andrea

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@andreapandypetrapan Why comparing with Alban Berg? This masterpiece stands for its own and has not to be compared to other masters. I like Alban Berg but this is Sibelius.

[@markmuch1295]

I would like to hear you compare this to the version with Christian Ferras under Zubin Mehta in Paris, my favorite performance ever of any musician. Watching Ferras is almost as good as listening to him.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

This is my comparing if you even want a comparing, I dont think it is necessary, every artist has his/her own way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYeug4eYYryja8k

[@hmkhni]

Impressive and touching... With respect to Julia Fischer 's touching performance , Interpretation and musicality, I still go for Hilary Hahn's Performance for this violin concerto. The rather faster metronome of this performance compared to the others, has made it more dynamic and emotional.

Fantastic!

[@dongsyhoang1215]

Julia Fischer is playing this music extremely good, especially in the second movement, Adagio di molto, at 17:07. Together with the orchestras lovely supporting she almost reaches heaven in this movement.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Please also notice the perfect bow handling in this second movement. It is sort of a wonder.

[@LucienMarine]

@@staffanolofsson8201 Sibelius/Fischer is a beautiful duo. We see Julia smiling at the start of the last movement. The pleasure of finally playing again because she experienced « a crossing of the desert » to put it this way. I am very happy to see her again because I missed her during these years. We have a common point: *Sibelius* This one is my absolute master. The last of the giants in the symphonic genre. *LM*

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@LucienMarine Just now Julia Fischer is my absolute favourite in this. I used to listen to Hilary Hahn a lot, she is also phenomenal in her interpretation, but just now it is Julia. Her strenght in this interpretation is just gorgeous. But sorry to say I have no idea about how to make the Adagio a separate link, if it even is necessary? I believe her playing in this consert is just wonderful as a whole.

@@staffanolofsson8201 It is obvious that Hilary Hahn is today the undisputed reference in all registers. She is at her apogee! That being said, Julia Fischer maintains her superb.

[@LucienMarine]

The Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47, by Jean Sibelius stands out in particular for its dark and mineral atmospheres. It is the composer's only concerto, one of his most performed works, and one of the great violin concertos of the 20th century. This piece was not an immediate success among 20th-century European audiences. However, today it is one of the most recorded and considered one of the most difficult in the violin repertoire. A virtuoso piece, a passionate violin recitation, its innovative and lyrical aspect stands out from the first listen. It's a really powerful work, it's also very delicate and beautiful to desired. Sibelius was a violinist who desperately wanted to be a performer, and when that wasn't the case for him, he became a composer. You have to imagine the passion that someone can have for their instrument, they write a work that they would like to play, but it will have its own life. There's a dark undercurrent, but there's also a lightness just waiting to come out and get up. Sibelius is truly creative in many ways in this concerto. In the first movement for example, he adds cadence to the composition, and at that time not everyone did that. So you really hear the solo violin as the composer intended, which is very revealing when you listen to the entire work. *Lucien*

Thank you for this comment! I agree about everything, as a lover of Sibelius music. For me this violin consert, together with his second symphonie are highpoints in his always fascinating work.
