In a stunning recording career of over 35 years, Anne-Sophie Mutter has sold upwards of 10 million total albums. Renowned for her technical facility and limitless range of expressive colours, Mutter is the undisputed "Queen of the Violin" (Times of London) - a musical legend of our time.
It is no exaggeration to call this recording an historic venture: in June, Mutter and the Berliner Philharmoniker, whose deep and lasting artistic relationship was forged in the 1970s, came together at the Berlin Philharmonie, to make their first studio album in almost 30 years. Here, she records Dvorák's Violin Concerto - the last of the great Romantic violin concertos not yet in her discography.
Anne-Sophie Mutter has chosen to pair Dvorák's Violin Concerto with his fiery Mazurek Op. 49, and the Romance in F minor for violin and orchestra Op. 11. The album also includes Dvorák's irresistible Humoresque, presented in its popular arrangement for violin and piano by Fritz Kreisler. All works on this recording exemplify the vivid colour, touching melancholy and folkloric tunefulness that are trademarks of Dvorák's style.
"There are times when Mutter sounds so luscious and over-the-top that you feel guilty liking her so much, but the love that she radiates has its roots firmly in the musical phrase, and in her joy in the work. Whatever your final view of the interpretations, Mutter truly "speaks" through her instrument, and what she says sheds an entirely new light on Dvorák, and repays the closest attention."
