Julia Fischer strikes me as the new Anne-Sophie Mutter, and my previous favourite version of these 3 gorgeous concerti was the Mutter one with Salvatore Accardo and the ECO, recorded when Frl. Mutter was about three-and-a-half. So, I played them one against the other - and I'm torn. Both ladies play with precision and flair and joy, and are absolutely ear-ravishing, and in the end, to me there is overall nothing to choose between them. Neither uses a baroque violin, but this is music for the ages, not to be straitjacketed with period performance considerations.
However, the thing that for me makes the big difference is the recording quality. This version has a nice, crisp recording, whereas the ECO in the Mutter version (now pretty ancient admittedly) sounds congested, as if all the fiddlers were forced to stand and play in the corner for being naughty boys and girls.

This Bach is simply out of this world! A million stars - I never liked bach to much when I was younger, and I was slowly getting into it. However, as soon as I heard this recording I was a craving addict!
The tempos are perfect, technique (as usual) flawless, but most of all the soulful, religious elment of bach is in its prime. So moving, so touching - but always simple, never overstated.
It may be quite expense, but I would pay 5 times the price for this CD!

Normally ASMF play great. Here they become a little impure... perhaps copying the authentic movement a little... swelling held notes... hoenestly... let's find a decent Russian recording. Sorry this was a waste of money. I'm cross... it should have at least been reasonable. Just my opinion of course. (which no one will like)
