Free Music Review: Extrordinary violin playing - Don't miss this!
Hit: 5 Stars
A rich program of three violin concertos, as different from each other as can be imagined. Each is a gem, although the Prokofiev is the acknowledged masterpiece. Julia Fischer, now approaching her 25th birthday and already named "Artist of the year" 2007-2008 by Gramophone Magazine was but 21 when this recording was made.
"Wunderkind" is German for "a child of genius" and that is what was demonstrated here. The playing is characterized by gloriously rich and varied tonal colors, by flawless technique, and perfect intonation.
But this is much, much, more than brilliant fiddling. Each concerto is treated as a separate gem of individual beauty. Julia Fischer provides passionate performances with immense feeling that arise from a deep understanding of the music she is playing. She is an intellectual artist, but one with great heart! Pre-eminent among todays young musicians, Julia Fischer is surely destined to be recognized as one of the greatest violinists of all time!
Just a word about the sound. Although it will play on any CD player, I listened to this disc as a multi-channel SACD. The rear or "surround" channels were recorded to capture the reflections from the rear and side walls and on playback the listener is virtually transported to the concert hall. This is uncanny and quite wonderful. It makes regular stereo something you never want to have to put up with anymore.
