TSCHAIKOWSKY Violin Concerto in D major op. 35
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1 in C minor op. 68

"Julia Fischer plays the violin concerto with freshness, excitement and energy, with a broad palette of timbres and a fantastic technique. Her Tchaikovsky sounds soulful and romantic without becoming sentimental" - this is how enthusiastically BR reviewed Julia Fischer's outstanding recording of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto back in 2006. Almost 20 years later, the violin virtuoso is still one of the best interpreters of this work, which places the highest demands on the soloist with its breakneck cascades of sound and emotional power. Since her spectacular victory as an eleven-year-old virtuoso at the Menuhin Competition in 1995, Julia Fischer has been an integral part of the classical music scene and is one of the world's top violinists. Her technique is impressive, her transparent, pure tone captivating, but artistic expression is even more important to her. When it comes to shaping masterful violin literature into magnificent concert experiences, she is often accompanied by conductor Vasily Petrenko, as is the case with Pro Arte.
This season, we welcome the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with its chief conductor. Founded after the war by the legendary Sir Thomas Beecham and the only orchestra to be ennobled by Queen Elizabeth, it is one of the five major symphony orchestras in London. In addition to the demand to present artistic quality at the highest level, passion and versatility are hallmarks of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
