I love Mutter. I think she's a brillant violinist but not with this piece, way too fast. She does the same think with Bach's Ciaccona. For me she is Beethoven girl!
Perlman interpretation and point of view on this concert is the best so far.
Sarah Chang just played the Bruch violin concerto, moving her body to the music as if in dance, little smiles on her face with her eyes mostly shut as she played like a goddess ,as I say as if in a trance !!
I prefer the Sarah Chang and Hyun Su-Shin versions to this one by Sophie Mutter's which is often too rushed for my taste and for myself misses out on the emotion of this music. Sarah Chang is for me the Queen of emotion and expression in violin music eg watched her play Bruch Violin Concerto live in London recently OMG what a performance, its very strange in that Sarah played as if in a trance possessed by some strange spirit in which the violin becomes part of her body and soul. Spooky !!
This is only the seconf piece I have heard her play but she is very talented. To those who would critize I would only say are you able to play like this?
I missed an Anne Sophie Muter concert in San Diego after 911. She was afraid to fly and I was so disappointed. She is an amazing musician. Another Musician filled in for her and did a wonderful job. Sure wished I could have seen her play live. I think the concert was Vivaldi's four seasons.
German spirit is a very good spirit:)))I like Anne-Sophie playing Brahms Sonatas....but it's my personal taste about her playing Tchaikovsky!By the way ,I am mixture of German and Bulgarian blood,myself....:)
@AltaicPride01 - sounds like your biggest thrill in life is when you performs those daily acrobatic acts of sexual self-gratification while you look in the mirror and video tape the ritual.
It is so obvious that during all of your sexual experiences you were alone.
Although it is far too late for you, masturbation makes you deaf.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? - I SAID MASTURBATION MALES YOU DEAF!
That is why you are unable to appreciate a great performance, by a great performer who has a normal life

What a truly great romantic classical masterwork of Tchaikovsky performed brilliantly by a truly brilliant (and beautiful) Ann -Sophie Mutter. A real joy in life!
Wonderful but my favourite version on youtube is by Sarah Chang , performed when she was only 12 years old. We are so lucky to see all these wonderful artists for free on youtube !!
I absolutely LOVE her playing. This piece sounds contemporary to me, she incorporates her immense knowledge of modern music and using some of those technics in Tschaik´s music, who would have thought !!!! Sounds like a recepie for disaster? And yet today they sell dark chocolate with chilly and it tastes f.....ing great: Bravo Anne-Sophie you rock! Your Korngold is unsurpassed. Your Berg and Bartok recordings will stay in history as THE ones!

magnifica armonia...concentrato di note che si rincorrono senza mai abbandonarti...ora graffiando...ora saltellandosi...ora posandosi lievemente con leggiadria discreta ed elegante ...passando dal ronzio lontanamente noiosello ...per finire in maestosi attacchi d'archi...che...
This piece is like driving a 10 horse stagecoach being pursued by Banshees! Anne-Sophie is in control of all 10 horses. Her playing has mighty feeling even while racing through the screaming fingering passages, then, softly and sweetly for contrast. Tchaikovsky was a genius whose work asks the most talented soloists to capture the reins and drive those mighty horses. The tempo variations by the conductor bring out the contrast between fierce and softly sweet. Pyotr would be proud!
@TheForeignersNetwork Wouldn't it be great to SEE her play this instead of just having stills to watch while listening? Watching a talented violinist is like watching artistry in motion. The instrument and the player become one living thing. While playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concertos 1st and 3rd movements, the living thing is like a fire breathing, winged horse burning up the sky from horizon to horizon. Perle-Mutter is right up there with the best masters.
@75serendipity: I don´t really think that the level of one´s playing is the point right here! If one don´t like her performance, it´s a matter of taste! You cant´s compare any Youtube member´s playing with Mutter´s. She´s ingenious and a rare talent, so don´t compare those guys with her, because it´s impossible. I don´t want to say that there cant´s be other well-playing violinists, but just very very few like her all over the world!
Her version of the third movement is so powerful - the fast tempo she chose only adds to the poignancy of the concerto.
I met Ms Mutter once after a concert when I was still a child, and she was so kind and welcoming. She is not only a brilliant artist but also a wonderful, very generous human being.
Paganini Give crazy chords which you cant stretch to while Tchaikovsky gives you high notes and make you sound like you are squealing...but when you master their works, it will sound like heaven! (:
happy listening I ♥ you Tchaikovsky for creating such wonderful music (:
i really like Mutter's tone in this piece- the rawness of the string really fits with all of the triple stops and grating notes. i really like it, but i do agree that the phrasing is a bit off.
@Calvarienberg Ich liebe auch diese Musik. Ich bin so froh wir sind Freunde wieder. Ich will Ihr feuchtes kleines Loch mit meiner langen heißen Wurst durchstechen. Himmel!
she beats all the stereotypes of a female player, she's got the sensitivity but also the 'brute' strength and brilliance that is often characteristic of male virtuosos. so to anybody who every thought that good music had to be made my men, IN UR FACE :p
I definitely agree with mareoraft. It just not only shows the character of the piece, but damn, shows she's puttin a heck of a lot more than just playing notes. . . she has that raw emotion, just in there. showing just from her playing. Honestly, I find it rather overwhelming
For those that do criticism: are you able to play like her??? You are so stupid! This part is an "Allegro", it has to be fast, and even if she does very fast, she's simply FANTASTIC!!!!!!
@75serendipity, she does play it a tiny bit fast but not too much so which is at the soloist's disgression. In fact, compared to some other female soloists i know, its not too much different. Very concise and deliberate.
@75serendipity I think it's utterly ludicrous to consider people's criticisms void due to a lack of playing ability. If one has no ability or learning in the subject matter as a whole that's one thing but film critics, video game reviewers and food tasters don't all claim to be the best of the crop in the art of creating any of the things they're critiquing. Your lack of understanding on this matter is abominable.
@75serendipity Its great! but I do agree for this piece being a tad fast. Must savour even at allegro. The tempo does go up and down a lot though, so she seems to be toying with you : )
I am a big Sarah Chang fan and yes I agree to me a bit fast and lack of feeling ,but then again we all have our own favourite Artist's and their different interpretations !!
I like in the middle when she plays so forcefully that the string is slapping the fingerboard. I like that she isn't afraid to do that. Some would argue that it doesn't sound good, but in this case I think it fits the character of the piece.
Although many people find her renditions of a lot of concerti too fast for their tastes, I personally like them :)
I do love her 'digging' into the G sul... but at 3:19 and 5:01 are EXCAVATION in progress. These BLARE right at you! If she could just decrease these two 'digging', it will be perfect: :D
i think she does it on purpose. probably because she likes that sound better. i know i certainly do. to each his own, of course, but i don't think she's flawed. i just think she prefers a different sound than you. personally, i think her sound is greater than any violinist i've ever heard, alive or dead, full of the widest variety of colors and emotions. she is an artist of the highest caliber.
piu veloce non vuol dire che sia bello, nessuno puo negare che ha un suono micidiale, ma le sue scelte musicali lasciano desiderare, non comprarei mai questo cd
I love this performance. I love that she really digs into the g string and clearly enunciates the notes. And I don't think this movement is too fast at all.....just right.
She has a problem with the speed,she is amazin` :) but too fast ... it sounds cool ,but somehow funny...d`oh everyone wants to runnin` out...where`s the music?! she is good,but too much energy.
your crazy for thinking that. yes karajan is one of the best conductors that have ever lived. if you didnt know anne sophie mutter is a true violinst. she does not exploit her self. her life is based on purely music and not fame. this recording is actually not conducted by karajan. i have the video of her playing this. conductors dont make the violinist.
Heifetz & Barbirolli is the 'definitive' version in my view: Jasha was a pupil of the dedicatee, and, the orchestra has three of the greatest woodwind players of all - Leon Goossens (oboe), Reginald Kell (clarinet) and Archie Camden (bassoon), who make the last movement even more special.
and why should this piece not be aggressive. there is no one way to play a piece that is why music is always changing. shes the meaning of evolution in the classical realm right now. followed by maxim vengerov and others. to me this is one of best recording of the 3rd movement ive ever heard. she gives me a new look of what is to come.
She has rendered the most perfect version of this concerto EVER played! The beautiful Mutter has taken what the composer wrote and raised it to a higher level...bless you Mutter! This is a slice of heaven and Uncle June knows best!
Find Elman/Barbirolli '30s version for perfection, Tossy Spivakovsky's for a decent second. No crushed tones, no wild shenanigans - just honest, beautiful, virtuous playing. Not easy to find but worth the effort. If you have an ear you'll throw out your Perlman/Stern/Mutter etc. versions.
if you have Elman/Barbirolli '30's version why dont you put it up? while you are at it put up one of your performances? i would love to hear it at least.
Comon... u might be right... but Maria Callas says it all, "don't compare champagne with cognac". I like both of them, but its unlikely to shuffle their plays on one single playlist... it taste weird.

Oh God! I like Vanessa Mae and everything, but saying that Mutter is "almost as good" is "almost" an offense. There's no point of comparisson, besides they play different styles.
You should listen to Mutter better and I can recommend Perlman and Stern
I've listened to 5 or 6 different artists play Tchaikovsky including Hilary Hahn and Annie Sophie is far and away the best!!!

Although many people find her renditions of a lot of concerti too fast for their tastes, I personally like them :)
I do love her 'digging' into the G sul... but at 3:19 and 5:01 are EXCAVATION in progress. These BLARE right at you! If she could just decrease these two 'digging', it will be perfect: :D

This is really excellent, my only criticism is that she almost rushes, with a fast quivering vibrato. It sounds like an attack of nerves.
I believe some teachers make such a student gain control of vibrato by doing it slowly and practicing many hours with vibrato exercises.
Szeryng and Rosand sometimes do really slow wide vibrato, the effect is gorgeous.

i think she does it on purpose. probably because she likes that sound better. i know i certainly do. to each his own, of course, but i don't think she's flawed. i just think she prefers a different sound than you. personally, i think her sound is greater than any violinist i've ever heard, alive or dead, full of the widest variety of colors and emotions. she is an artist of the highest caliber.

mutter is brilliant. either as good as heifitz
etc. or better recording tech but never thought anyone would equal the greats
of the old school. wonder if mozart was
regarded by his audience in the same way. while not a composer mutter may
be the musical virtuoso with profound
soul that is todays equivalent of mozart.
like mozart she is unparalleled and her
style has her unmistakable signature.
mutter, mozart, and others like them
are ceratainly 'old souls,' among us.

your crazy for thinking that. yes karajan is one of the best conductors that have ever lived. if you didnt know anne sophie mutter is a true violinst. she does not exploit her self. her life is based on purely music and not fame. this recording is actually not conducted by karajan. i have the video of her playing this. conductors dont make the violinist.

Heifetz & Barbirolli is the 'definitive' version in my view: Jasha was a pupil of the dedicatee, and, the orchestra has three of the greatest woodwind players of all - Leon Goossens (oboe), Reginald Kell (clarinet) and Archie Camden (bassoon), who make the last movement even more special.
marsvltor2 2 years ago
and why should this piece not be aggressive. there is no one way to play a piece that is why music is always changing. shes the meaning of evolution in the classical realm right now. followed by maxim vengerov and others. to me this is one of best recording of the 3rd movement ive ever heard. she gives me a new look of what is to come.

She has rendered the most perfect version of this concerto EVER played! The beautiful Mutter has taken what the composer wrote and raised it to a higher level...bless you Mutter! This is a slice of heaven and Uncle June knows best!

Find Elman/Barbirolli '30s version for perfection, Tossy Spivakovsky's for a decent second. No crushed tones, no wild shenanigans - just honest, beautiful, virtuous playing. Not easy to find but worth the effort. If you have an ear you'll throw out your Perlman/Stern/Mutter etc. versions.

Comon... u might be right... but Maria Callas says it all, "don't compare champagne with cognac". I like both of them, but its unlikely to shuffle their plays on one single playlist... it taste weird.

Oh God! I like Vanessa Mae and everything, but saying that Mutter is "almost as good" is "almost" an offense. There's no point of comparisson, besides they play different styles.
You should listen to Mutter better and I can recommend Perlman and Stern
