German violinist Fischer on spurning a photo shoot

BONN, GERMANY, Sept 21:  German violinist Julia Fischer knows that marketing is part of the price to stay at the top of the competitive world of violin soloists, but she was having no part of a photo shoot she said had made her look like a drug addict. “I once did a photo shoot … Where I didn’t release a single picture afterwards because I didn’t see myself anywhere,” the 30-year-old mother of two told Reuters in an interview after a concert this week at the annual Beethoven Festival in Bonn.  (agencies)
