Julia Fischer - Bach Concertos

[vissi87]

I've been watch some videos of Andre Rieu. It's amazing how anyone can actually like this man when people like Julia exist. The comparison is so great they may as well be on different planets. She is incredible.

[Sortudinho]

Have her CD of the Bach Concertos :) One of my favorite musicians <3

[un195known]

She's quite, extraordinarily competent. I can bet on it.

[guiwalrus]

I own this cd.. It's so great!!!

Julia is amazing!!

[jayadsilva67]

Bach, having so many children would like to raise one off of Ms Fischer. That would gladden his heart

[gallito1010]

Beautiful ...great ...Amazing !!

[franklindavid]

She is just incredable! even Bach would agree.

[Cema23]

yey :-)

[larrybrux]

After seeing this, I had to go out and get the cd, and I'm so glad I did. Love it!

[larrybrux]

I had to go get this cd, and I'm sooo glad I did, because it's every bit as good as what I expected.

[MissMusicienne]

I think she is very intelligent.

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! One of a kind.

[T3hbassmasta]

when i read this, the beastie boys song, Intergalactic started playing in my head. AFTER i spent the last day in a half trying to get it out. thanks a lot.

[mifa8382]

Es sin duda el tipo de mujeres que me ecxitan!!!!!!!!

[davidofclay]

imbecil..

[AlanLaFromboise]

I love Julia Fischer she is a music God!

[huggiehuggie1]

Dude, I love violin chicks... she is so raw hott...

[ZeroX810]

haha dear julia

listen more to JANINE JANSEN.

[grl008]

In response to "Gaspar795": do you really believe what you say?! What you imply is crude and not at all true. Before you come out and speak your own thoughts, you might want to consider the validity of it. Your remarks about Julia are crass and completely unneccessary. If you don't appreciate her contributions to Music, then say so....don't give a full-blown rude and degrading explanation. A word for the wise: "Think before you speak"; in this case type your comments for the whole world to view

[meinekinder1]

bravo

[appletreemusic1]

it seems after watching this video, that this is a tremendously talented violinist who just happens to be a beautiful, intelligent woman - such a combination doesn't usually rub people the wrong way!

i certainly did not get the impression that she is represented as a sex symbol, or as anything other than as an artist - sure, there are photographs of this beautiful woman throughout the video, but that is far from irregular when promoting any artist, attractive or not.

[sormu16]

"I wish you nice beautiful female fiddlers would not allow yourselves to be sold as sex symbols!"

That is OK, such is the market. Women want to look beautiful too. Sex and beauty is hard to separate.

In the end, looks does not make much of a difference. Play damned good, or you are out of the music scene.

She is in!

[Gaspar795]

We obviously disagree - I'm convinced she is being sold as a sex symbol by the promoter/record company.

[Gaspar795]

I wish you nice beautiful female fiddlers would not allow yourselves to be sold as sex symbols! I know its the promoters and record companies fault.

The music is the thing. Wear dull clothes and try and look insignificant, not like the latest models. Then you may play even better.

[starcastically]

... wow, the sexism in this comment baffles the mind. A woman has to be insignificant-looking in order to be talented? Are you -joking- with this?

There is nothing at ALL wrong with a woman wanting to look her best -- and it doesn't detract from her talent at all. You have a lot to learn about women, my friend, and once you do you will be the better for it.

[Gaspar795]

If you read what I said you wouldn't come out with such rubbish. And you are putting your words into my statement. Go back and read it, and if you don't understand it say so.

I did put the blame on the promoters and record companies who want to sell the most products by depicting talented people (beautiful or average) as sex symbols.

People have talent and can be gifted - no matter how they look.

[starcastically]

I quote: "I wish you nice beautiful female fiddlers would not allow yourselves to be sold as sex symbols! [...] Wear dull clothes and try and look insignificant, not like the latest models. Then you may play even better."

I think it's you who doesn't understand the implications of what you say. Have you ever thought for a moment that perhaps women -like- looking beautiful when they play? I don't think she's being -promoted- as a sex symbol (or is one) at all. She's just a beautiful girl.

[Lamzilla]

So you think that if they look bad, they will play better?

[meinekinder1]

einfach Klasse!!!

[DarkLoveFashion]

la mujer de mis sueños

[ardevin]

Can anyone tell me the name of the first piece in this video?

[alexlee0627]

Concerto in E major- movement I

[ardevin]

Thanks!

[urduwala]

Mon souhait était de vous mettre en face de la rose

donc je pourrais vous discutez avec le rossignol languissant !

[meinekinder1]

Eine große Künstlerin

[Figga1949]

Excellent !!!! Nycolas C.

[starryeyed95]

Sorry this is unrelated, but I loved how the guy threw the bottom of her skirt to make a more dramatic picture. I don't know why; it just made me laugh. :D

[Brazmaria]

talentosa e linda!!!

[kimberlynda]

perfect !

[aaabbbccc5]

Great woman!

[operaticxingenue]

It's interesting what she says about modern interpretation because I think her playing is less lusty than the other violinists with recordings of Bach or Vivaldi. One example is Mutter. She plays everything so romantically and compared to her, Fischer is rather period in her playing.

[TorinJB1]

She is a great violinist. I love the Bach Violin Concert in A minor.

[superjam18]

Is she religious?

[lightningshreds]

whether she is or not does not matter. Bach goes beyond religious structure(even though he was deeply religious), into a principle of creation which is mysterious and beyond reasoning. If something approaches the mystery of creation is Bach's music. Whether it's religious or not, it makes no difference, that is open to your very own interpretation. It's universal and eternal. I'm Agnostic, but I recognize there r hints of the "Unknown" in his music.

[nocturnalanimelover]

So beautiful. I'm watching a bunch of videos and trying to play by ear. I suck.

[Chopin1986]

pure beauty... she made me cry!! So wonderful!!

[ramsestf]

i love it !!!

[helena2isy]

Guadagnini,1750

[HUMBLEMAKER]

Does anybody know which violin she plays?

[SimplyStefani]

Julia's sound is amazing.

I got her free track from iTunes a while ago.

I love it <3

[182278]

i love what she says about freedom of style. i mean just because people supposedly played that way, why should we still play like that? i mean playing has evolved like technology. isn't it obsolete? so why play in the authentic style (which i find uninteresting and inferior)?

[nyxB]

She plays sooo beatifully... so emotional... I'd love to hear her at the piano as well.

[nyxB]

Somebody knows how old is she today?

[JOHWIL9]

She was born in Munich 1983

[JonEricMusic]

May your every musical wish come true Julia.

Banjoistically yours,

Jon Eric

[123liutoitalia]

Julia, you are wonderfull ! Thank you for your elegance, your music and your humanity ! Beautiphul to see such a talented musicina beeing so generous with other and sharing what you learned in life ! You deserve you sucses ! MS

[packerswarriors]

OMG!!! THIS IS GREAT!!!! LOVE IT!!! but if u wanna hear violin to the max, then u should check out this gruop called the baroque boyz and there first song called turn-around!!!!!

[knightsatin]

Julia is brilliant - she is one of my favourite violinists ... I have two others

[countryguy93]

She is just brilliant.

I have the song she is playing in this video, on my ipod.

[ytfuh]

muito linda e  inteligente essa Julia Fischer..

[czimon]

yes! bach! one of my favorites.

off topic but... wow! those eyes...

[hybochen]

百聽不厭 超好聽:)

[loveme123me]

She is downright amazing.

[loverrR411]

thank you :)

[loverrR411]

what does she mean at 0:28?

[reinux]

bach concertos tend to have solos that are really rhythmically and melodically clear, so often it's easy enough for the rest of the orchestra to keep up without needing an actual conductor.

also, since most of the parts are strings, violinists know how everything works, so they aren't afraid to give out instructions on interpretation and expression and such -- which is normally the task of a conductor.

i can't believe i missed her concert in vancouver last month :(

[mushkee]

julia! i love you so much!..you inspire a lot people...i won't compare you to other great violinist out there because i know you have a unique way of expressing yourself as a true artist with very elegant mannerisms in every way....i love you

[Xaforn]

A truly gifted woman, no doubt about that. MAkes me love my violin all the more

[ErikaRagazzi]

Very very nice !!!!!!!

5 stars

[operaticxingenue]

I just adore her! And I love how her style when playing Bach isn't lusty.

[MiliosPoeta]

why cant i meet a woman like her?

[davidofclay]

i lOve julia fischer!

haha xD i really love her..!

[ihartsome1]

She sounds so sophistcated

[humilde7777]

I love it when you play it allegro. sweet.

[CosmicNoodleDancer]

I know she's played many different violins, but what is the one she is playing at 0:24?  Guarneri del Gesu or Stradavarius?

[issavestheworld]

A Guadagnini from 1750. That's the only violin she owns at the moment. She did use to play the Booth Stradivarius on loan from the Japan music foundation but not anymore.

[CosmicNoodleDancer]

Thank you very much!

[issavestheworld]

You're very welcome :)

[NKY8190]

she is a very beautiful violinist

[CosmicNoodleDancer]

Julia Fischer is my role model. I will be happy when I can play about half as well as she.

[urweired]

yes yes yes. She's amazing.

[Dogaradodia]

Very beautiful! Hope I get to watch Fischer play Bach Violin Concertos in E Major and A Minor on YT.
