Julia Fischer, violin April 6, 2010

Program
J.S. Bach – Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (BWV 1001-1006)

One of the great young musicians of the 21st century, German violinist Julia Fischer is widely praised for her imaginative and illuminating interpretations of the classical repertoire and for her uncommon virtuosity. In this concert, she performs unaccompanied Bach Partitas — some of the most challenging and illuminating solo works ever written.

Her recent recording of these has won worldwide acclaim. Named Artist of the Year at the 2007 Gramophone Awards — among the most important awards in the world for classical musicians — her intelligence, soulfulness and poise contribute to her inspired and exhilarating performances.

The six performances in our two Classical series are made possible by the William R. Kenan, Jr. Trust Endowment.
