Julia Fischer
Violinist Julia Fischer has been playing to packed concert halls ever since she was a child. She says, "I was already extremely conscientious when I was 10 years old. I was always aware of what it meant to go onstage and stand in front of a thousand people...I was very self-critical, and strict with myself." That self-discipline paid off. Today, she's one of the top violinists in the world. In today's show, Julia Fischer plays the Bruch Violin Concerto, from a concert in Geneva.
