Julia Fischer is a musical force of nature you have to witness. “Fischer is astounding,” raves Anastasia Tsioulcas of NPR Music. That’s been the consensus since the young violinist burst onto the classical-music scene and was named Best Newcomer of the Year in 2006 by BBC Music Magazine. On this solo recital, she performs works by Hindemith, Ysaÿe, and Bach.

“What I feel for Schumann goes beyond love and admiration," says Jonathan Biss. “The intensity of his passion for music, and his will to use music as a poetic and personal, yet fully realized and deeply expressive language strike me as the highest aims imaginable for a musician.” On this program, part of his season-long focus on Mozart, Janáček, and Schumann, Biss joins members of the Elias String Quartet for Schumann’s Piano Quartet.
