Notes & Reviews:

Joined by the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra and David Zinman, Fischer pairs the ever-popular Bruch concerto with Dvorak's undeservedly neglected but perennially fresh masterpiece - a rather more logical twinning than the ubiquitous Mendelssohn.

A former Artist of the Year at the 2007 Gramophone Awards, and 'Instrumentalist of the Year' at the 2009 MIDEM Classical Awards, Fischer signed to Decca Classics shortly afterwards and this is her fifth release for the label.

Reviewing Julia Fischer's performance of the Dvorak Concerto in London, The Guardian wrote, "Dvorak's Violin Concerto, a romantic showpiece too often passes over in favor of Bruch and Mendelssohn, has a piquant slow movement to compete with either. Fischer made sure we heard every note, handing us each bar with absolute technical assurance and in a lustrous, seamless tone."
