I got this DVD in the mail today, opened it and put it in my DVD-Rom. Suddenly, winter withdrew and "spring" has come! Of course, it's Beethoven's "Spring" Sonata. For thousands of Mutter fans, this DVD is godsend. It includes two programs of Beethoven's Sonata. The first one is the Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 5 in F major (Spring), 26 minutes. The second one is the Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 9 in A major (Kreutzer), 44 minutes. ASM is amazing and perfect in both programs, working together with her long-time partner, Lambert Orkis. The music is exuberant with color, emotion and energy.

Unused to playing much contemporary music, the challenge and success of Lutoslawski's Chain 2 led to Anne Sophie Mutter's ongoing commitment to the music of her own time, and this series a decade later. So impressed was Lutoslawski (I have a video of him discussing Chain 2 with her) that he wrote Partita to follow, and subsequently orchestrated it. Subsequently Lutoslawski added an orchestral Interlude, and this is how we heard the music at The Barbican. The three works, joined together in this way, made a very satisfying first half of the concert. They were followed after the interval by a rare hearing of Leonard Bernstein's Serenade , composed in 1953 before Candide . Supplied with a complicated (and doubtfully relevant) Grecian scenario, which easily fills a page of programme notes, it is in effect a five movement concerto with (only slightly) reduced string orchestra plus percussion - six players, but used sparingly. Anne Sophie Mutter brought out its lyrical qualities and Bernstein had seen to it that she was never covered. Very much of its period, and not to everyone's taste, the

Extractions: Anne-Sophie Mutter 's survey of 20 th Century music in her repertoire is being promoted in a series of recitals and orchestral concerts, in association with the release of a 4-CD Deutsche Grammophon compilation of recordings from 1988-1997. She commands a wide following and was able to fill the Barbican for music by Bartok, Webern, Crumb, Penderecki and others who may be less off-putting to a general audience, but with nothing really to pull them in apart from her own reputation. It was an inspired choice to begin with Webern's Four Pieces Op 7 (1910), tiny elusive miniatures which established immediately that the audience had to actively listen. The third 'hovers on the edge of inaudibility' and coughs which broke the spell sounded like gunfire! Respighi's sonata did not demonstrate that its neglect is undeserved. George Crumb's characteristic Four Nocturnes (1964) required a separate prepared piano for its kaleidoscopic colouristic effects

Extractions: LONDON, 7 July 2000 - I am second-to-none in my enthusiasm for the performance of early music on period instruments. Nevertheless, I can take equal pleasure from fine playing of such music on modern instruments. Perhaps not all. Take the music of Rameau. Somehow, it cries out for baroque strings and winds and for the harpsichord. On the other hand, one might have thought that the same would apply to Pugnani. Yet there is a recording made in 1937 by Henri Temianka of this composer's Violin Sonata in E major All this brings me to the recordings of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons made in 1999 by Anne-Sophie Mutter with the Trondheim Soloists and by David Juritz with the London Mozart Players. Given the vagaries of the English climate, which in the course of a single day can make you experience the whole gamut of a year's weather, I decided to haul out a huge pair of earphones and listen to Vivaldi's music in the peace of my north-London garden. There, in the company of a wide variety of birds, of the inevitable squirrels and with occasional visits by the resident fox, I listened to the Venetian composer's evocation of country life until I was eventually driven indoors by a hail-storm.

It was painful to do because I would have liked to have kept it in the family, but I wasn't happy with it. I don't like Strads for the simple reason that they always have a "Strad" sound. I prefer to create my own sound. I play a French cello now, a Lété from 1839, a docile instrument that sounds well wherever I play. Teachers:

Extractions: German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter first emerged as a dazzling prodigy under the aegis of Herbert von Karajan. Armed with formidable technique and opulent tone, Mutter is known for her searching interpretations of the classic repertoire as well as contemporary compositions, which she frequently champions. The sense of artistic freedom that Mutter rigorously pursues clearly marks her as one of the most individual, substantive violinists of her generation.

Extractions: Full Review Wonderful musical moments like those in this boxed set are rare indeed. Anne-Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orkis are without a doubt the perfect duo to perform the greatest violin sonatas by the greatest composer in the history of music. Add that to a beautifully produced set of Deutsche Grammophon cds of the highest standards, and you have recordings that will be a centerpiece of any classical music collection. It is one of the centerpieces of my collection, which means a great deal since it has competition from over 3,500 other classical cds. Writing this review is actually more difficult than I considered it would be, as the main dilemma isnt what to write, but how much. You see, these recordings present the listener so much, that one could write about their offerings for a longer period than most Epinions members would care to read. Therefore, I have decided to discuss the recordings in broader terms, with some references to individual compositions.

Extractions: Anne-Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orkis taking a bow on stage at the Academy of Music In what will remain as a watershed event in the life of the Esther Boyer College of Music, the performance given by Anne Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orkis on a glorious day in April, was one of the most outstanding performances offered in Philadelphia last year. Daniel Webster, music critic of the Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote a cogent review of the concert employing one of the most felicitous expressions ever to appear in Philadelphia newsprint; In Philadelphia, it is rare to hear a sonata program at the Academy of Music, and even rarer to hear performers command a large audience so completely as did violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and pianist Lambert Orkis. Their recital Monday [April 27, 1998], a benefit for Temple University's College of Music, offered Beethoven Sonatas for an audience held in coughless admiration by the force of their presence and playing. As one of the "coughless admirers" there was not a minute during the three sonatas and the three encores, where one could aurally relax and only half-listen. The playing was of such quality that one had to pay attention to every note, every nuance, and every phrase on the off-chance that one might miss the peerless moment of the concert, not realizing until the end, that every note was without peer.

And in Orkis, a pianist of subtle but far-reaching skill, she has a collaborator worthy of her talents. San Francisco Chronicle The Boyer College is to be the beneficiary of a concert performed this April at the Academy of Music, by internationally renowned violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and her musical collaborator and Boyer Professor of Piano, Lambert Orkis. The concert, on April 27, 1998 at 8:00 PM, will feature three Beethoven Sonatas, the Sonata No. 1 in D, Op. 12, the Sonata No. 5 in F, Op. 24 "Spring" and the Sonata No. 9 in A, Op. 47 "Kreutzer." Mutter is an extraordinarily elegant and persuasive artist. The sweetness of her tone is unfailing even in passages of great intensity; her instinct for propelling the musical line in an unbroken flow is deep and ingrained, and she commands one of the purest and most delicately fine-spun pianissimos one is likely to hear. New York Post This year Anne-Sophie Mutter celebrates the 21st anniversary of her remarkable career which began at the age of 13 when she played as soloist with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic at the 1977 Salzburg Whitsun Festival. Equally in demand ever since as a soloist and chamber musician, Ms. Mutter appears regularly throughout Europe, the USA and Canada, and the Far East performing with the world's finest orchestras and with the world's leading conductors.
Extractions: MUSIC: Mutter brings 20th century composers, classical tunes to public By Howard Ho Daily Bruin Contributor Twentieth century music lost the mainstream audience as far back as the 1913 premiere of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." But alas, this music has found its patron in Anne-Sophie Mutter, the Grammy-winning virtuoso violinist. Mutter performed an eclectic mix of the most revolutionary 20th century composers, including Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, at Royce Hall last Thursday. Instead of alienating the audience, she managed to hold them with precise playing and delightful pieces. The night began with Arvo Paert's "Fratres," a haunting piece that is dazzling in its vitality. "Fratres" allowed Mutter an opportunity to display her virtuosity, opening with fast continuous arpeggios that built up until a single piano tone broke through. That moment alone made the concert worthwhile. The ensuing pieces highlighted Mutter's versatility as a performer as well as the strength of her ensemble cast. Stravinsky's "Suite Italienne" required extensive string work while the Shostakovich Trio "No. 2" called for expressiveness. In both, Lambert Orkis, Mutter's perennial accompanist, delighted audiences with a solid backbone of sound that Mutter so gracefully ornated.

(Photo credit: Jillian Edelstein/SABA/Network) A t the age of 36, Anne-Sophie Mutter And those audiences were treated generously to a lot of tough music. On two solo recitals and three programs with orchestra (each played twice), Mutter performed a total of sixteen scores, offering a veritable crash course in twentieth-century violin music. Such retrospectives have been cropping up everywhere as the new millennium dawns, but that hardly detracts from Mutter's enterprise, her stamina, and her technical excellence. Her programming was equally crafty, balancing such familiar nonthreatening classics as the Sibelius Concerto and Ravel's Tzigane with the newer, more challenging sounds of George Crumb's Four Nocturnes Night Music II ) and Wolfgang Rihm's Time Chant.
Extractions: February 18, 2000. Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter , still in her thirties, is in the third charmed stage of a great career. In her first she was a child star who was announced to the world at age 13 by Herbert von Karajan as the "greatest musical prodigy since the young Yehudi Menuhin." In stage two she was the shapely covergirl in the sleeveless gown, recording the great 19th Century chesnuts of the violin repertoire. Stage three began with her discovery of 20th century music in general and the work of Witold Lutoslawski in particular. A lot of it can sound like the record of a nightmare: the 20th Century made music that's notorious for emptying concert halls; yet not when Anne-Sophie Mutter plays it. In her hands it is music that touches big emotions - not always to stroke or even please the ear. But she's made it her challenge this winter to persuade listeners to join her on a journey, and they're flocking to her. Anne-Sophie Mutter - in the second hour of The Connection.
