The Bartok Sonata # 2 takes us into far different territory: Angular, harsh and energized, it's a whirl of virtuoso technique and dynamic sound. Lambert Orkis on piano counterbalances Mutter's violin, producing varied tones and rhythms.
Anne-Sophie Mutter has been an award-winning soloist with major world orchestras since her teens, making her Berlin debut with Karajan and the Philharmonic when she was only 15, and her wide range of repertoire is impressive. Penderecki writes of her in the liner notes, that he was inspired by her "...sublime art of interpretation". The Penderecki was recorded in 1997, the Bartok in '95. The sound is excellent and total playing time is 58'01
I am blown away by this composition and performance. I am still digesting the performance, but it is colorful, tragic, meaningful, and so on. Penderecki uses clearly recognizable themes througout the composition that are interesting (for me) to follow. The performance by Mutter is intesley passionate, soulful and masterful. The composition has much color and drama.
I highly recommend this recording!
