In these intensely emotional performances, Mutter and Orkis respond to rapt audiences with playing of exceptional intimacy
"Written in Penderecki's 80th birthday year, the newest work shows undiminished mastery: La Follia is a big, Baroque-inspired solo piece…The performances are faultless and - since they feature their dedicatee and in one instance even their composer - surely count as definitive" BBC Music Five Stars
"Penderecki's Second Violin Concerto, Metamorphosen (1995), was also his first collaboration with Mutter…The fervency of Mutter's commitment is unerring, as is that of the London Symphony Orchestra under the composer…Throughout, Mutter's playing has all the imperiousness this music requires." Gramophone
"The Mutter style typically mixes steely authority with febrile emotion. Nothing dislodges her assertive technique, certainly not in the eclectic, often neo-romantic, highly coloured music written by Penderecki after he turned his back in the 1970s on the flinty screams of avant-garde." The Times
