About this item
Amazon.com
We've grown so accustomed to seeing violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter gracing album covers in her flowing formal gowns that this recording of Vivaldi's masterpiece may come as a shock to her fans, at least at first glance. Mutter, it appears, has been influenced by Gap culture, looking relaxed and appearing in jeans on the album cover. To coincide with this release, she even released a music video, featuring the Trondheim Soloists and herself performing the glorious work and looking like they're having a blast. Is this the shape of classical music to come? Let's hope so. Mutter's performance here, as usual, is top-notch. The opening movements of Spring sound delightful, the Summer storm sounds frenzied, and during Winter's second movement, you can practically hear the chill being warded off by a fire. Her impeccable tone is, as usual, gorgeous and the conductorless Trondheims provide a fine, if slightly obscured, accompaniment. Filling out this disc is Tartini's Sonata in G Minor (better known as The Devil's Trill), a wonderful piece of baroque violin virtuosity. There have never been so many recordings of Four Seasons available as right now; there really is no definitive version anymore. This one, however, is easy to recommend. --Jason Verlinde
Product Description
Anne-Sophie Mutter's new recording of Vivaldi's the Four Seasons is an explosion of color, a thrilling performance that showcases the dazzling range of her artistry. Ms. Mutter was inspired to re-record the world's most popular classical piece after seeing the colorful works of contemporary German artist Gotthard Grabner. The result is a performance at once sensual and physical, strikingly re-imagined yet completely fresh! Ms. Mutter is soloist AND conductor (her conducting debut on DG).
