Julia Fischer follows her extraordinary Grammy-nominated recording of the fiendish Paganini Caprices with a contrasting album − a lyrical and poetic set of impressionistic works for violin and orchestra.
Comprising four substantial pieces, this unique program is headed by Suk’s virtuosic Fantasy, a mini-concerto that is now justifiably finding its way into the concert repertoire. It is accompanied by two well-known tone poems – the elegant Poème by Chausson and the English pastoral The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams. The album is completed by Respighi’s Poema autunnale (of which there is only one other recording in the catalogue), making the program truly multinational.
For this recording, Julia Fischer is joined by her long-term colleague on the podium, Yakov Kreizberg, directing his own orchestra, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra − with whom Julia Fischer has a very close artistic relationship as artist in residence for the 2010/11 season.
Critical acclaim for the Paganini album: She plays “with lyricism, digital brilliance and incredible finesse” (The Observer).
费雪的最新专辑《诗》，收录了四首富有诗意的小提琴作品，专辑强大的整体概念，即便还没有听到内容，也会为此及其所收录的曲目给吸引到。
除了大家比较常听到的萧颂的《诗曲》及佛汉威廉士的《云雀飞翔》外，本辑还收录了雷史毕基的《秋日诗曲》以及绝少听到捷克小提琴家苏克的《幻想曲》。比起上一张帕格尼尼无伴奏作品，笔者认为费雪在这里的表现要来的出色许多。正如同专辑的名称一般，费雪的詮释也充满了诗意与想像力；她细腻却不滥情的音色，非常适切的将乐曲中幻想般的线条给拉奏了出来。虽然苏克的作品也许是这张收藏这张专辑的重要理由之一，她在《秋日诗曲》及《云雀飞翔》中的精彩表现，或许才是整个发行最吸引人的地方。
这几年来，乐坛新生代的女性小提琴家辈出，像是同为DECCA旗下的吉妮杨森（Janine Jansen），或是DG的芭蒂雅许维莉（Lisa Batiashvili）等皆有不俗的表现，而费雪在当中拥有著最好的音乐性与敏感度，而她们之间的相互比较，相信除了能让乐迷不断讨论之外，也会激发出更多精彩的作品。（孙家璁，《MUZIK》发行人兼总编辑）
