What's Inside: The Book

The 288-page hard-cover book included in the deluxe box set gives you a glimpse of Anne-Sophie Mutter's lifelong career. The book opens with a foreword, The Complete Musician, written by André Previn, followed by a collection of photographs from her childhood to her most recent performances and recordings.

The book also includes an extended interview with Anne-Sophie Mutter and an essay by pianist Lambert Orkis. Amongst the pictures are numerous tributes by such luminaries as Herbert von Karajan, Aida Stucki (her teacher), Witold Lutoslawski, Yehudi Menuhin, Wolfgang Rihm, Sofia Gubaidulina, and others.

Also includes track listings for all 40 albums with artist biographies.

 

 

What's Inside: The Music

No other collection features as imaginative and vivid a repertoire of that found within The Complete Musician. A lifetime of masterpieces, Anne-Sophie Mutter's entire Deutsche Grammophon catalog is featured in the box set ranging from the Mozart Concertos with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic to her most recent Brahms Violin Sonatas. Also included are two bonus albums featuring recordings from her youth, chamber music with Lambert Orkis, the Lutosławski Memorial Concert, and a double concerto by André Previn written for Anne-Sophie Mutter.

Rihm / Currier / Penderecki - World Premieres

Time and again Anne-Sophie Mutter seeks out the challenge of a first performance. Above all, however, Anne-Sophie Mutter is motivated by the desire to keep on rediscovering the violin.

Deutsche Grammophon acknowledges the tremendous amount of work she has done to expand the violin repertoire for future generations with this all-new recording of world-premiere works. All works were performed during her NY Philharmonic Artist-In-Residence series of concerts during the 2010/2011 season.

ASM35: The Highlights
ASM35: The Highlights offers a comprehensive look at Anne-Sophie Mutter's Deutsche Grammophon career — from her Mozart debut in 1978 to her Brahms Sonatas in 2010, with all of her musical partners. The very first track is a special treat: the 11-year-old Anne-Sophie Mutter playing a solo movement by Prokofiev at a music competition in 1974 – released for the first time ever! Also featured are many of Anne-Sophie Mutter's favorite recordings, ranging from Vivaldi and Bach to Lutosawski and Bernstein. Also worth checking out are the breathtaking virtuosity on Zigeuenerweise and the Mendelssohn Concerto, and beautiful one-offs, such as Debussy's Beau Soir and Gershwin's It Ain't Necessarily So.

ASM35: The Highlights is a testament to the truly amazing music that Anne-Sophie has graced the world for over 35 years.
