  "There may be other Pentatone recordings that are this one's near equal, but none exceed it for showing the superiority of the DSD encoding system and the intelligent application of dispersed channels of sound and music. And while we may have suspected that the Russians, led by Kreizberg, could be this soulful, who'd have thought that Fischer, just turning 20 when it was made, could match the Russians in this respect?" – Harry Pearson, The Absolute Sound, March 2007

"Many of you will probably wonder why I chose these violin concertos in particular for my first CD. To be perfectly honest, it was more a matter of coincidence, together with an idea of Yakov Krizberg’s, that led to the compilation of this programme. We met in October 2003 in Philadelphia, where we were performing Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto; and as we enjoyed working together on the music so much, we immediately started looking for a chance to record this wonderful work. After it was settled that the Russian National Orchestra would work on this recording, I felt immediately inspired to add a further two Russian concertos to the programme…Serge Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 contains all the typical characteristics of the composer - his Russian side, his sarcastic side, his ironic side and also his lyrical side. In this work, it is mainly the composer’s lyrical side which fascinates me, as well as his symphonic manner of writing. The violin is well and truly embedded in the orchestral sound. Another violin concerto I have always wanted to play, yet never had the opportunity to do so, is Glazunov’s Violin Concerto. It is a true pleasure for a violinist to play this work - absolutely delightful and rewarding for the instrument, with really catchy themes as well as dialogues with all orchestral instruments." - Julia Fischer
