“This is a CD that would be right at home as the sonic backdrop to a reflective Christmas Eve […] because it simply captures your attention without being intrusive. All the pieces, including the Christmas fantasies and variations, are performed with classical expressivity and earnestness. This award-winning concert pianist understands that less is more, and that subtle dynamic shifts and self-effacing expressive gestures go a long way.”

Jean-Yves Duperron, classicalmusicsentinel.com, 14.11.2023

“Bach’s “Air” from the third Orchestral Suite, sensitively transposed to the piano, forms the festive opening […] The multi-award-winning, artistically extraordinarily adept pianist immerses herself in the melody. […] Caroline Fischer’s equally lively enthusiasm for design and performance on the grand piano does justice to all this splendor at every moment, as her variable spectrum in terms of touch finesse and dynamic effect design seems inexhaustible and at the same time a sovereign sense of style keeps the great arc of tension in view.”

Stefan Pieper, Klassik-heute.de, 10.11.2023

“”What truly makes this album special is not just the original selection of repertoire but the fact that one can enjoy over an hour of refined tonal sensitivity and exceptional piano artistry. In Bach’s chorale Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Caroline Fischer’s poetic touch and innate musicality are particularly evident. No misplaced accent disrupts the meditative flow; there is neither too much nor too little here. Mozart’s famous variations Ah! Vous dirai-je, maman captivate with nuanced articulation, exquisite virtuosity, and a distinctly Mozartian character. Perfectly balanced and effortlessly delivered, Fischer lets each variation shine in its own unique colors.

This sensitivity, of course, stems from the virtuoso skill of this pianist. For sensitivity should never be mistaken for weakness—it requires the greatest strength. And that is precisely what is demonstrated here.”
