Background: The second release from the prodigiously gifted German violinist Julia Fischer. Her debut disc reaped warm praise - 'The debut disc of the German violinist, Julia Fischer, this is seriously impressive' - '...an ambitious and auspicious recording, leaving us to impatiently await the next one.'

Julia Fischer was born in Munich, Germany in 1983, and now ranks among the top violinists performing for audiences around the globe. She began playing the violin before the age of four, receiving her first lesson from Helge Thelen. Her formal violin education commenced at the Leopold Mozart Conservatory in Augsburg, under the tutelage of Lydia Dubrowskaya. At the age of nine, she was admitted to the Munich Academy of Music, where she worked with Ana Chumachenco.

Julia Fischer has won many competitions, the most prestigious of which include the International Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition under Yehudi Menuhin’s supervision (where she won both the first prize and the special prize for best performance of a solo work by Bach in 1995); and the Eighth Eurovision Competition for Young Instrumentalists in 1996. In 1997, she was awarded the 'Prix d'Espoir' by the Foundation of European Industry.

Her active repertoire ranges from Bach to Penderecki, from Vivaldi to Shostakovitch, and includes over 40 works with orchestra as well as some 60 chamber-music works. Julia Fischer currently performs on the Stradivarius 1716 violin 'Booth', which is on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.
