The Solo Concertos – Anne-Sophie Mutter, Herbert von Karajan / Mozart* / Beethoven* / Mendelssohn* / Bruch* / Brahms* / Tchaikovsky*
Anne-Sophie Mutter, one of the greatest violinists of our time, will celebrate her 60th birthday on 29 June 2023. Deutsche Grammophon is honouring the wonderful artist with a limited and numbered Vinyl Edition (5 LPs) of her solo recordings under the baton of her early mentor Herbert von Karajan. Set content ranges from Mutter’s 1978 DG debut album with Mozart’s 3rd and 5th Violin Concertos to those from Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bruch and Brahms, all with Berliner Philharmoniker. LP 5 includes a live recording of Tchaikovsky’s Concerto with Wiener Philharmoniker from 1988, which turned out to be the very last cooperation of Anne-Sophie Mutter and Herbert von Karajan. The set provides 5 LPs on 180g vinyl and a 16-page inlay (English/German) with track listings, liner notes by Dorothea Walchshäusl, photos and facsimiles of the recording documentation.
