| 1. | ![Anne-Sophie Mutter Plays Mendelssohn [CD and DVD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Idp4Ih4RL._SL160_.jpg) | Anne-Sophie Mutter Plays Mendelssohn [CD & DVD] from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $11.99 Customer Review:  This is the best Classical Music CD-DVD that I have attended. Anne-Sophie Mutter is perfect. She is a free, untamable wild beast, a beautiful wild beast on violin. Mendelssohn sounds pure and alive. I am very happy for my purchase. |

| 2. |  | Mozart: The Violin Concertos; Sinfonia Concertante from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $14.98 Customer Review: When I was a little younger and a lot less wise, I read a few reviews and, prompted by cheese-paring parsimony and a slavish respect for received critical opinion, foolishly opted to buy the bargain Arte Nova set with conductor David Zinman and American violinist Pamela Frank. I played it once or... |

| 4. |  | Jean Sibelius: Violinkonzert / Serenaden / Humoreske from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $8.39 Customer Review: This is a quite remarkable performance; Mutter plays with more intensity and urgency than any other performer I've heard, replacing for instance the usual meditative approach to the opening phrases with concentrated power and strength and sharp edges (mostly because of the decision to play the... |

| 5. |  | Mendelssohn/Brahms: Violin Concertos from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $5.44 Customer Review: The same day I received this CD of Brahm's violin concerto with Anne-Sophie I heard, after listening to her version, a performance of another violinist playing live with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I was shocked how ordinary his performance sounded even though the audience gave him a strong... |

| 6. |  | Bach Violin Concertos & Gubaidulina 'In Tempus Praesens' by Anne-Sophie Mutter Price: $9.48 Customer Review:  First, the sound quality of this CD is stunning. DG have outdone themselves on this one. It sounds like a pristine LP to my ears. Second, the two Bach concertos are are the best of the half-dozen versions I own (which include Szeryng, Perlman, and Heifetz). Mutter's playing is brilliant and... |

| 8. |  | Carmen-Fantasie by Pablo de Sarasate Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Many musicians play with with brains, only few do with hearts - And even fewer pour their hearts out with consistency are legends. Mutter had seemingly rewritten the arrangement and absorbed it so solidly which led to a performance that blooms with such great passion and distinct personality aided... |

| 9. |  | Vivaldi: The Four Seasons/Tartini: The Devil's Trill by Arve Henriksen Price: $7.89 Customer Review:  I bought this recording because Anne-Sophie Mutter's Autumn on her Meditation CD is so lovely -- but that version, as it turns out, was conducted by Von Karajan. The playing on this version is brilliant, but it's just too brilliant for me: the attack is so loud and aggressive that I couldn't settle... |

| 10. |  | Alban Berg Collection / Various (Coll) from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $34.09 Customer Review: Overall what you get here is great music in very fine performances, but as others have noted, there are no texts. This is a HUGE flaw when nearly three-quarters of the music is vocal, even if your German is excellent. I can only recommend this to Berg fans who already have other recordings with the... |

| 11. |  | Tchaikovsky: Concerto For Violin And Orchestra In D from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $9.46 Customer Review: Mutter plays with great tone, vibrato, and expression. The recording is actually very enjoyable and beautiful to me whenever I listen to it. However, I prefer a slightly faster tempo for Tchaikovsky. |

| 12. |  | Anne-Sophie Mutter - Mozart Violin Concertos, Sonatas, and Trios by Anne-Sophie Mutter Price: $50.24 Customer Review: I have enjoyed listening Mutter world and learned a lot of techniques. I have listened her live recital of all Mozart sonatas. I was deeply impressed by her unique phasing, techniques and also cloths. However, I was feeling dizzy during watching the DVDs because terrible camera work, which is... |

| 13. |  | Lalo: Symphonie espagnole; Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen: Massenet: Thaïs - Meditation from EMI Classics Price: $3.80 Customer Review: . I have never loved the violin. I have never loved Zigeunerweisen. I have always been ambivalent about Ozawa. Now I love all three, at least for the duration of this performance. I have always loved EMI, however, and rate this recording at the top for sound, as well. A violin must be... |

| 14. |  | Tchaikovsky, Korngold: Violin Concertos by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Clealry this CD is a divider, not a uniter. Mutter steps out front with swoony romanticism and self-indulgence so over the top it comes back around and sounds like a reincarnation of Kreisler, Elman, Zimbalist, and their bygone ilk. She is possessed of gorgeous tone and unstinting technical... |

| 15. |  | Brahms: Violin Concerto; Schumann: Fantasie, Op. 131 by Johannes Brahms Price: $6.29 Customer Review: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BA71B9GKL._SL75_.jpg While Mutter's violin work is masterful, exquisite, I found her very obvious pause in the famous early section of the allegro extremely disconcerting. I can't think of any other violinist who does this. It seems that, in order to "claim" a... |

| 16. |  | Anne-Sophie Mutter: The Berlin Recital from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $7.48 Customer Review: Mutter's Mozart violin sonata E minor is unparalleled in its emotional depth. Better than any other recent recordings and even historical recordings by Arthur Grumiaux. Another works are also excellent. |

| 17. |  | Bach: Violin Concertos in A major, D minor & A minor; Mutter, Accardo by Johann Sebastian Bach Price: $10.79 Customer Review:  It is quite odd that Mutter was recording all the Romantic concertos for Karajan on DG but recorded a Bach and Vivaldi disc for Emi. Her playing on this disc is quite beautiful and free of the mannerisms of her later Baroque recordings. The slow movements in particular are very affecting and by... |

| 18. |  | Mozart: The Violin Sonatas from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $27.98 Customer Review: I am fairly familiar with Mozart's symphonies, operas and string quartets, but these recordings were something new: the interplay of the two musicians on these complex, but accessible compositions welcomes repeated listenings. After a month, my favorite is the K.378, but there is much, so much here. |

| 22. |  | Mendelssohn, Bruch: Violin Concertos by Berliner Philharmoniker Price: $3.90 Customer Review: Let me admit right off that I am not a fan of Mutter's, early or late, and don't collect her recordings. She seems to me to be an empty stylist with mannerisms in place of insight. Here we get her in her Wunderkind phase, with glossy accompaniments from Karajan. The Mendelsoohn is especially... |

| 24. |  | Mozart: Violin Concertos 3 & 5 / Mutter, Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $6.81 Customer Review: The virtuoso as cute tyke has always been a winning attraction, and here Mutter is at her youngest and most sparkling. The abuandant mannerisms are still years off, and her playing comes across as brilliant but natural and unforced. There are no gerat insights, but we don't expect them from one so... |

| 25. |  | Beethoven: Violinkonzert from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $8.95 Customer Review: You can't quite hear in this Beethoven Violin Concerto, fresh and elegant as it is, why Mutter went on to become the highest-paid soloist in classical music. There's not enough personal voice, as one learns by turning to her later reading, also on DG, with Kurt Masur. There, Mutter has glamoour and... |

She seems to have a real feel for the material. I am gradually increasing my collection of contemporary composers; this particular version is highly regarded by mavens of classical music and audiophiles. I am neither but was... |

Bach - Violin Concerto in E Major by Herbert Von Karajan Price: $8.44 Customer Review: The Bach concerto is not a great showcase for Mutter, but she does all of it beautifully. The magnificat is very well done. As usual, lots of von Karajan! |

| 28. |  | Mad About Violins from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $3.34 Customer Review: This is a great sampler of some of the best violinists playing some all time classical hits. Shlomo Mintz, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Gil Shaham and Gideon Kremer are featured playing with great orchestras and top class conductors. Darn well worth it if you can get your hands on it! |

I love the Carmen Fantasy pieces! I enjoy the rest of the CD, too. My ear does not detect the sound deficiencies that a previous reviewer claims. I have... |
