Product Description

Amazon.ca

Anne-SophieMutter obviously had fun making this disc. In the quiet pieces (Massenet, Ysaÿe, Fauré) which serve as interludes, she plays with her usual exquisite taste. In the showpieces, though, she goes to town, sliding, scooping, exaggerating, and letting all the stops out. The gypsy inflection she uses in Ravel's Tzigane and Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen is delicious. Even a ridiculous orchestral arrangement of Tartini's Devil's Trill Sonata is more amusing than offensive. With James Levine and the Berlin Philharmonic providing uncommonly alert and powerful support, and Deutsche Grammophon's realistic sound, this disc is a real treat for violin lovers. --Leslie Gerber

4.0 out of 5 stars The 30 year old virtuoso has a very serious approach Jan 11 2013

If you don't have these violin pieces (with orchestra) , buy it .
If you want Mutter , buy it . If you have 3 or more already , think twice .
The title 'Carmen Fantasy' : Perlmen gave a straightforward account . Mutter is distinctively "Carmen" .
'Meditation' is most beautifully played . Ah 'Legende', due to the nature of this piece, will a guy play it better ?
for 'Zigeunerweisen' , there are 2 others worth mentioning : Heifetz 1951 , M.Rabin 1959 .

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart's Delicacy Jun 25 2004
By MR WT MAKHATHINI
Format:Audio CD
I got this CD a long time ago & i remember the first time I heard the 1st song i knew I was into something different. Mutter is very expressive & the sound is crystal clear U could hear every note retaining in its originality. The Show stopper for me is & will alwayz be compositions by Pablo De Sarasate.(I also like Fritz Kreisler) I like his compositions because they sound so fun his music was not as serious as that of Bruch but very similar. Pablo had a different style & teases the mind & heart to such an extent I thought my heart could not take any more of these simple magnifique delicacys of the soul. Sophie Anne Mutter knows exactly how to bring that style that captures the ear & mind. "carmen fantasy" will make u love violin guaranteed.This is a MUST HAVE in your collection.DO NOT BE ALAYED BY THE BAD REVIEWS IN THIS CD THEY ARE SIMPLE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT APPRECIATE CLASS.

2.0 out of 5 stars .....not impressive Oct 20 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I love Ms. Mutter and how she plays, but I have to say this was one of her worst albums. I thought that the Tzigane was very good and different from all the other recordings of it and it kept me listening but the Sarasate......was not that impressive. The Zigeunenrweisen was very just there. It wasn't great or junk it was just....there...The Carmen Fantasy though was horrible, i think she shoulda redone the last movement where she coulda practiced her shifts...I think that Pearlman and Sarah Chang played the fantasy with the Zigeunenrweisen much better. SO i think u shoulda waste ur time on this album, buy Chang's Fire and Ice was much better than this album...

Anne-Sophie Mutter's sensuously dulcet tone is wonderfully suited to most of the works featured on this disc. It is a real fun record, sometimes overly exaggerated but why not? Read more
