Julia Fischer is a unique phenomenon on the international music scene who has no difficulty in playing a violin concerto in one half of a concert, and a piano concerto in the other - both as soloist. At this concert, the young German artist plays the violin; what is more, the same masterpiece by Brahms of which she made a recording in 2007, leading to her coronation as "Artist of the Year” at the Gramophone Awards - known as the Oscars of classical music - which bear the name of the most p...restigious magazine devoted to recordings of classical music. Julia Fischer is one of those performers who wins over the audience simply with their stage presence, yet it is not her personality that she brings to the forefront, but the music. She plays even the toughest passages of music with consummate lightness and intensity, yet natural technique so free of exaggeration and extravagant movements that the listener is not able ignore the sound, the pure enchantment of the music. This is not something that has escaped the attention of the concert agencies, so it is no coincidence that the Munich-born musician regularly works with the world's greatest conductors and orchestras. She has already played with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Lorin Maazel, and most recently appeared with the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic at the Carnegie Hall in February 2014.
As Russia's oldest symphony orchestra, the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic has been making music since 1882. The legendary Yevgeny Mravinsky headed the orchestra for half a century, turning it into one of the world's best. It was as as his assistant that the current musical director served for decades, before taking over the mantle in 1988. Now approaching 80 yet still youthful, Yuri Temirkanov even had an asteroid named after him in 1975.
