Anne-Sophie Mutter – Carmen-Fantasie (2LPs, Analogphonic)

A flawless technique, cut like a diamond. Intensity and the talent to make it possible to experience music that has been heard countless times in a new way. Willingness to step out of the comfort zone – perhaps by choosing a bold tempo or by an extraordinary and startling timbre. Anne-Sophie Mutter has all this and more! Carmen Fantasie includes pieces by composers who were themselves virtuoso violinists or who intended to test the technical ability of anyone who dared to perform. Mother interprets pieces with impressive care and dedication. The recording under the direction of James Levine with the Vienna Philharmonic was made in the Great Hall of the Vienna Musikverein in November 1992.
