Music reviews of Bach: Violin Concertos
Music Review: Julia Fischer Bach Concerti
Rating: 5 Stars
This is Julia Fischer first recording with Decca, and I reckon she has made a good move away from Pentatone.
Ms. Julia Fischer is an extremely intense player. Normally, at a concert, after the intermission, the 30 minutes of let-down would take the winds off her. As she appears again, she normally looks tired and exhausted. This is more so when she is leading The Academy of St.-Martin-in-the-Fields.
So listening to a CD, which recording is usually taken over a much longer period of time, gave Julia the chance to revitalize her energy and every concerto and their movements are now full of energy and fresh.
This may sound strange to you, as much as I LOVE listening to her live, which I did many times and I was able to follow her for a while, I can tell you that having her CDs is not such a bad idea.
Is the CD good? My humble opinion says yes.
It is a simple answer : If you like Julia, you will love this CD. If you find her not to your taste, then switch back to the old recording with crackling statics and enjoy the vinyl.
Personally, I find her to be at the fore front of the new crop of violinists. New interpretations, new sound, not at all bad.
Sir Neville handed his baton to her, That's very impressive.
BWV 1043 in D minor for two violins is the first piece. It is oddly beautifully, very beautiful. The other violinist although not as well known as Julia, but he is just as talented. The second movement has a fresh interpretation and I love it.
BWV 1041, the 2nd movement is very scattered until Julia started her solo(ing), then they would follow her. Without a conductor, TSMITF are lost at times when Julia sat down and become part of the orchestra.
BWV 1042 in E-Dur is okay, not great. Maybe everyone have heard it too many times. The is the lack of "freshness", Julia style. The 3rd movement she brings back the Julia spirit, fresh and good.
BWV 1060, on the oboe and violin concerto, the recording is too biased towards the oboe, which has a louder voice than Julia violin. A mistake on Decca's part.
There is no mistaken about Julia now has developed a "style" and is very recognizable, which is incredible for a young lady of 26. Even when the two violins are going together, you won't be confused with which one is Julia's. :-)
The SMITF? They are still on top. If you have a chance, do not miss their concert with Julia. This is a very musical group.
If you love Julia Fischer, this will not disappoint you, I promise.
Hope you'll enjoy her music and follow her closely as she becomes more and more mature in her music. Great girl, fantastic friend, impeccable and humble leader. Best violinist, too, of course.

Description of Bach: Violin Concertos
Voted "Best Newcomer" by BBC Music Magazine in 2006 and acclaimed as "Artist of the Year" in the prestigious Classic FM Gramophone Awards only a year later, 25-year-old Julia Fischer is already being hailed as one of the truly great violinists of the 21st century. Julia burst upon the international music scene at the 1995 International Yehudi Menuhin Competition by taking first prize as well as a special prize for "Best Bach Solo Work." It is only natural then that her Decca debut disc should feature Bach--this time the solo and double concertos. Julia is joined by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields in these strikingly sophisticated and technically brilliant performances.Classical CDs
