A flawless technique, polished like a diamond. Intensity and the talent to make music heard umpteen times experienceable in a new way. Willingness to step out of one’s comfort zone – perhaps by choosing a bold tempo or an unusual and startling timbre. Anne-Sophie Mutter has all this and more! „Carmen Fantasie” includes pieces by composers who were virtuoso violinists themselves, or whose intention was to test the technical abilities of anyone who dared to perform them. Mutter interprets pieces with impressive care and dedication.
The recording, conducted by James Levine with the Vienna Philharmonic, was made in the Great Hall of the Vienna Musikverein in November 1992.
