About
Julia Fischer and Martin Helmchen now need no introduction. Their first volume of the works of Schubert was an overnight success. The unique feature on this CD is Julia’s performance as a pianist in Fantaisie in F minor D 940 Op.103, a four hand piece. She has performed in live concerts as a pianist but this is her recording debut.

August 2010
They give a magnificent account of this inspired work [the F major Fantasy]...It's a challenging piece...yet Fischer and Helmchen present as fine as any account on disc...They are a marvellous team, evidently giving each other ideas as they go along.
22nd May 2010
Characteristic Schubert, played with penetrating subtlety by the two young Germans Fischer and Helmchen...The CD ends with the D940 Fantasia for piano duet, with Fischer partnering in a powerful performance: one moment fiery, the next caressing. And all such heavenly music.
