it's so artistic and musical...this is phenominal

Thank you for sharing this wonderful concert with us. Julia's playing is fantastic; the only soloist I have heard perform the Brahm's any better is Hillary Hahn. This concerto deserves the blend of power and "touch" that both women provide.

What can i say that i haven't already said? Marvelous playing from soloist and orchestra alike! Bravo!

From Elizabeth Smith (Posted: Mar 23, 2007)
Wonderful!

It now works on my Safari browser, although not the Firefox browsers (Macintosh). I'll still buy the CD.

From Frank-Michael Fischer (Posted: Mar 23, 2007)
Ok, workaround for non-Internet Explorer users in place. I've tested it with all kinds of Firefox/Linux combinations and it should play now. On Windows it worked anyway on any valid configuration.

Enjoy!

This is truly elegant, great playing. Not only is it wonderfully tasteful and masterful, but the realization of the orchestral part is thoughtful and very detailed, with great rapport all around. Bravo

Elisabeth,
unfortunately, the provider of the file (which is not [yet] me) uses a back-to-front Microsoft approach. But I will try work out some workaround for setups like yours. Give me a few minutes, ok?

We can't get this to work on our browsers. So we'll just have to buy the cd!

This is so amazing...she has a great tone and mind control.
Best Brahms I ever heard!

I agree. This is superb playing.

From David Russell (Posted: Mar 22, 2007)
This is truly special playing.

Mr. Fisher,

I will definitely ask my teacher to try and put that together (I don't know how scheduling works and all that, but I'll ask). And the Firefox still doesn't work for me (after updating WMP I think it's just my computer), but it's okay, cause I bookmarked it under the IE browser.

Anyway, another great performance by Ms. Fisher.

From Frank-Michael Fischer (Posted: Mar 22, 2007)
How about Honolulu Symphony contacting Julia's agent?

After installing the latest Windows Media Player updates (using Internet Explorer) from Microsoft's website, your Firefox should play the "IN CONCERT" files just fine; mine does. But I am not using Windows most of the time.

Nevermind. I got it to load under Internet Explorer. It seems as if it's not compatible with my preferred browser mozila firefox.

Anyway, Wonderful playing by ms. fisher and great support from the orchestra! It's definitely one of my favorite interpretations i've heard! Thank you Mr. Fisher!

btw, when will Ms. Julia be making her debut with the Honolulu Symphony?!?! I just know that everyone here would love to have her!

I can't see it/It doesn't load!

How do i get it to work?
