Anne-Sophie Mutter Interview Star German violinist annesophie mutter speaks to Lionel Choi while in Singaporeon December 1st, 1997. This is your second visit to Singapore. http://hanbat.chungnam.ac.kr/~s_bach/interview.html
Extractions: This country combines modern technology, science of our time, very vital economics, with the roots of tradition. That would of course make Singapore, like Hong Kong, one of the very fascinating cities for Europeans, seeing the leap of the long tradition into the future. One of the reasons why I come back is that music plays such an important role in Singapore and it will more and more in the future, so it's a very interesting new part of my schedule actually to add, other than the usual places I have been working at for the last 20 years. For me, it was normal because I didn't want to have any other choice then than to play the violin. I was very happy doing that. Actually, probably my childhood is more lucky than other common children because I wanted to play violin at the age of 6, and I actually got the possibility of doing it, and one of the most important things in a parent's life is certainly to find out the abilities of the child, their special gifts and, if possible, really nourish that.

Extractions: Violinists Here you can find some greatest violinists' biographies Gidon Kremer Gidon Kremer was born in Riga (Latvia) in 1947, the only child of parents of German origin. After receiving his first musical instruction at home - both father and grandfather were professional violinists - he studied at the Riga School of Music and then at the Moscow Conservatory under David Oistrakh. Kremer enjoyed notable success at competitions in Brussels (1967), Montreal and Genoa (1969), and Moscow (1970). The international chamber music festival in Lockenhaus (Austria), founded by Gidon Kremer in 1981, has been a forum for young artists to present challenging and innovative chamber music concerts - programmes which are also taken on tour. In 1992 the festival in Lockenhaus was named "KREMERata MUSICA". In 1996 Gidon Kremer founded the KREMERata BALTICA chamber orchestra to foster outstanding young musicians from the three Baltic states. He undertakes regular concert tours with this orchestra. Gidon Kremer is also Director of the Musiksommer Gstaad (Switzerland). Gidon Kremer's repertoire ranges from the Baroque to works by Henze and Stockhausen. Composers of the former Soviet Union such as Schnittke, Pärt, Gubaidulina and Denisov have been introduced to Western audiences largely through Kremer's efforts. Martha Argerich, Valery Afanassiev, Oleg Maisenberg and Vadim Sakharov are his favorite musical partners. Gidon Kremer plays a Guarneri del Gesù - ex David - dating from 1730.

MichiganDaily.com Reknowned violinist annesophie mutter captivated Hill Auditorium on Saturday.Originally on page 10A in the 2-14-2000 issue of the Daily. http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/2000/feb/02-14-2000/arts/04.html
Extractions: Jee Chang Daily Arts Writer Anne-Sophie Mutter captured the audience's attention with her aggressive style of playing Saturday night at Hill Auditorium. Muttter did not waste any time starting her performance as she walked across the stage accompanied by brief applause. She wore an eye-catching silver dress that only accentuated her thrilling performance. Mutter started off the first piece, Webern's "Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 7," with light, harmonic sounds that evaporated into the air. With the combination of various techniques such as plucking and attacking of the strings, Mutter proved to the audience her capability of producing dynamic sounds from her violin. She had a clear cutting sound that was piercing and rich in vibrato. The "Sonata for Violin and Piano" by Respighi consisted of three movements: Moderato, andante espressivo and Passacaglia. The Moderato began with graceful weaving melodies Mutter so eloquently performed. With vigor, Mutter breezed from one movement to the next, giving each note a sense of important value. The Passacaglia evoked dramatic melodies and thundering chords that were intensely controlled with the help of Mutter's piano accompanist Lambert Orkis.

The Great Prokofievans: Violinists Several of today's brightest violinist have recorded most of Prokofiev's majorviolin works with spectacular results. Others, like annesophie Mütter have http://www.prokofiev.org/prokofievans/violinists.html
Extractions: rokofiev was not as prolific in the violin repetoire as he was in piano. As a result, there is unfortunately not a significant body of violin and chamber work to which violinists could 'dedicate' their efforts. However, this is not to say there haven't been venerable great violinists who championed Prokofiev's work. The most important violinist in Prokofiev's life was David Oistrakh , who collaborated with Prokofiev in some of his violin works and recorded all of Prokofiev's violin repetoire multiple times. Several of today's brightest violinist have recorded most of Prokofiev's major violin works with spectacular results. Others, like have recorded very little of Prokofiev's violin repetoire, yet frequently play his works in public recitals and show a profound understanding of his music.
Extractions: Magnificat in D Major, BWV 243 Format: Video Record Label: Sony Catalog Number: Year Released/Recorded: Total Playing Time: Comments: Mike Flemmer said: Highly recommended! This video is 57 minutes of pure Bach joy from beginning to end. Karajan conducts and plays from the second harpsichord that is facing the orchestra and chorus. (Yes, there are two harpsichords in the center of the orchestra!) Karajan has not recorded very much Bach, but you wouldn't know it from this performance. This artistically magnificent live concert is a total success. It's a rare, top-notch live Bach concert from Karajan and company that is worth the purchase. All the musicians are superb. Karajan uses no baton and is very refrained. Liner notes are true: "with calm attentiveness...he allows the musicians to lead the way, visibly admiring their performances". It's a superb, non-HIP modern performance that has real moments of power, spirit and grace. Anne-Sophie Mutter has become a world-class recording artist and violinist. Here she is in one of her earlier performances, and she plays just as beautifully and intelligently then, as she does now. Her performance of Concerto No. 2 is everything I could ask. A bright, energetic, beautiful performance. Wonderful deep tones from the violin.
The Concert Companion With Christopher Seaman - WXXI Online In the 1970s, the conductor Herbert von Karajan promoted a 14year-old violinistnamed anne-sophie mutter, and she has now become one of the major masters http://www.wxxi.org/concert/concertcomp19.html
Extractions: In the 1980s, perhaps the most startling young performer was pianist Evgeny Kissin, who performed and recorded the two Chopin concertos at the age of 13 to great acclaim, even though his hands were still too small to play certain chords without spreading them. Kissin, too, has gone on to make one stunning recording after another, though in his case staying within the standard repertoire.
Classical Beauties The response of more mainstream critics is more complicated. Concertviolinist annesophie mutter favors an off-the-shoulder look. http://arizonachambermusic.org/CB.htm
Extractions: The Arizona Daily Star OK, I'll admit it. Researching this piece on the Eroica Trio, which performs here Wednesday, leaves me puzzled. Were it not for the violin and cello, I might have mistaken the accompanying photo for a sexy fashion advertisement - not publicity material for a critically acclaimed piano trio that's performed in many of the world's concert halls. But this is the '90s. All-female chamber groups aren't all that rare anymore, and this one's not about to downplay what one critic has called its ``glamorous good looks.''
Schwann Artist There are a few lights in this bleak picture, and German violinistAnnesophie mutter is surely one of the brightest. Here is a http://www.schwann.com/artist/ex2000.html
Extractions: Meeting Beethoven Face-to-Face by Tamara Bernstein Ultimately, it must be the sheer humanity - the generosity, wisdom and humility - of Mutter's mature playing that makes her one of the most beloved classical artists today. Connoisseurs of violin playing have a persistent and justified kvetch these days - modern performers, they complain, all sound like clones. An eminent violinist recently summed up the situation: "If you put on a recording of Kreisler or Heifetz, how long does it take you to know who's playing? Two notes!" "Today," he continued, "all I can say when I hear a new recording is, 'fantastic playing.' But I don't know who is talking." There are a few lights in this bleak picture, and German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is surely one of the brightest. Here is a voice you can recognize instantly: in the subtle changes of speed and amplitude in her vibrato (a more or less lost art among her peers); in her vast sound palette; in the emotional intensity of her playing, which can go from unbearable tenderness to lacerating violence within a few notes. There's also the unearthly beauty of Mutter's high notes - a beauty that cannot be wholly attributed to her Stradivarius - and the magisterial command of musical time that allows her to hold an audience literally breathless.
