This album together with volume 2 completes the collaboration between Julia Fischer and Pentatone. Since all works which Schubert wrote for Violin and Piano are insufficiënt to fill 2 CDs, Volume 2 will show Julia Fischer as pianist as well (in the 4-hands piece: Fantasie in F minor D 940/op. 103).
The second Volume will be released not later than April 2010 All Julia Fischer albums on Pentatone have been bestsellers. Martin Helmchen’s last 2 albums were both Music Choice of the month and the “Trout”album got a 10/10 review from David Hurwitz on ClassicsToday.com (plus excellent reviews in many other publications).

“Helmchen is adept at pinpointing the crucial harmonies… and his touch is unusually sensitive… Fischer similarly manages to combine restraint with warm expression, and the occasional moments where she plays with more abandon - as in her dramatic first entry in D385 and the ebullient Minute of D403 - stand out the more effectively.”

“These three sonatas are all lightweight, but when played with such sweet tone as Julia Fischer brings to them, and such sensitive and responsive pianism as the remarkable young pianist Martin Helmchen commands, the results are delightful.”
