[@SpringHuangMusic]

Love this so much! Julia is always my favorite:) Didn't know she is a mom of 2 now! I think she balances personal life and career pretty well. Would like to hear more about it.

[@muratgurol6540]

Can you reduce the background music a bit I could hardly understand what she was saying..

[@sampotterf3013]

Who thought the background music was a good idea?

[@jeanparke9373]

1:30 oh so she does have a phone now! She was famous for NOT having a phone for years.

I honestly don’t know what a superpower is. Good intimate information. Glad to have found this channel. ☺️

She is beautiful! I would love so much an interview with Hilary Hahn too! Pleaseeee?

[@MyWorld-tl6xi]

I do not know her husband but I can tell you that he is the luckiest man in the world!

[@lemon1653]

Love her!

[@GVZGQosqoruna]

Super power: Be a first rate violinist AND pianist.

[@robotnik77]

If I could go into the past I would follow Fritz Kreisler around - he was interested in everything - #2 Wieniawski, #3 Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst (Ernst used to follow Paganini around- I'd get both), and maybe Ole Bull - he seemed to have an interesting life - full of travels in Europe and America. I don't think I could keep up with Ricci, always on the road. he must have had tons of energy. For pianists, Beethoven (improvising on themes given to him), Chopin, Liszt and Paderewski. I'd definitely go with a smartphone and bring back some vids!!

[@doughnutpotato2034]

im seriously grinning about the bit where she says she likes figure skating but somehow soccer has taken over her home XD that exasperated tone

[@jpmcft3194]

The fact that she’s European and calls it soccer shows how little she cares about football.

Your favourite motto? -Carpe diem(Seize the moment).Also a Saxon song.1:43

[@marcosantonio9987]

Very pretty and talented

[@Sreng444]

What was her motto.. ? What a beaut person! Luv her accent! Prima

[@buninparadise9476]

Carpe Diem

[@asherwade]

Sadly, the obnoxious 'background' muzak made it very difficult to understand her answers.

[@nickhickson8738]

Muzak is the virus that won't go away. It's on TV and Radio as well when completely unnecessary.

[@hananalishahin7780]

what???? she's not proud of any of her recordings? who should if she isn't? God, Julia I love you!

[@phixi0n]

She doesn't like recording music, she's said it numerous times. She prefers performing live more.

[@dilfitz14gmail]

I'M PROUD OF ALL OF HER RECORDINGS

No, I think she said 'wedding tunes'

[@khinthan2923]

Hilary Hahn plz

[@cheesychoosy3111]

what's not to like.................!!

[@albertaguilar1059]

I would bet the most famous person on her phone is probably Hans Zimmer

[@amandacousins928]

Or Heinrich,her husband

[@ivankindle3]

Glenn Gould 😍

[@matthewwilhelmlee6125]

Oh my god,does she love Glenn Gould?And GG is my favourite pianist as well.

Demander à Julia Fischer quel est son super pouvoir...

[@scottnoricsson2023]

Hmm, too bad Lars Yngve Johann Lannerback isn't on you top 5 idols' list Julia, you should check him out, he used to be great composer and even better musician until he moved to Florida.

[@auscomvic9900]

She's a honey

[@quantumratio4311]

Shes da bomb! There is something in her eyes and expression, wo make me feel like it promise pleasure but some anxiety at the same time. A bit demonic, casts me under its spell...

[@amandacousins928]

You’ve been married since September,and your husband says you will have a baby and start a family and how does the apartment get prepared for the baby,she is a girl ,that means you’ll have a daughter

[@amandacousins928]

The midwife will help deliver your baby the name your husband chose is gretel(Greta)

[@hollygrail2964]

It’s VERY ANNOYING having to read the questions at the same time we have to listen to the answer!!! I had to pause several times! This is not how you should edit your videos!!! Please INCLUDE the question in “speaking voice” and not only on written form, it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!! Also, this video could SURE use subtitles, you can hardly understand her under that thick accent

[@barryisland5942]

I hope you find something meaningful in life to enjoy.

[@yulianaecheverripineda7214]

I'd love to hear your thick accent as well :)
