Music reviews of Anne-Sophie Mutter - The Berlin Recital

Music Review: The most interesting violin recital to come along in a while
Rating: 5 Stars

I must say,at the outset, that a lot of fine violinists have recorded these pieces so there is no shortage of technically and musically compelling performances to choose from, but this particular recording bears further scrutiny and I feel, should be in everyone's collection, both for its tremondous conviction and its few excesses.Unlike one of the reviewers, I never got the impression at any point in this recital that technique was put first and expression sacrificed in its stead. On the contrary, a few of the musical choices may be perhaps too strong-headed and almost overbearing for some of the music; in particular the tempo changes and agogic accents (accents of duration to make a given note have more expressive importance by being held beyond its "official" length) in the opening movement of the Mozart E minor Sonata strain the limits of the high classic style and lose the long line in favor of expressive detail that need not be so prominently highlighted. This tempo tugging works to much better effect in the atmospheric Debussy Sonata and successfully creates dramatic contrast in the Franck Sonata which also receives heightened contrast with passages, like the end of the Recitativo movement, played with a bare, vibrato-less tone that adds gravitas and a sense of finality to the proceedings. It would be no understatement to say that Mutter has thought these pieces through quite thoroughly, perhaps as much as anyone is capable of - her choices of where to speed things along, hold things back, add high-powered vibrato, or not, thicken the sound or thin it, hold on to certain notes or let them go more freely, all have an intellectually solid foundation and are not flightly, callous, flippant, or capricious. That said, I can understand that some might find her contrasts in tempi and dynamics to push the limits of what is acceptable. This is also what is so fascinating about this recording because I can think of no other violinist whose recorded this repertoire that has taken the chances she has and managed to pull it off convincingly. The only regret is that, given such a strong personality, she overwhelms Lambert Orkis who, though a fine musician, is nonetheless left a bit in the shadows by her dramatic even searing intensity. A more balanced combination can be found in the recording of French violin repertoire by Augustin Dumay and Maria Joao Pires, the latter possessing the most amazing legato playing of any pianist I've ever heard. With the caveat that the pianist and violinist are not on equal footing sonically (interpretaively they are), I would recommend this recording very very highly for its expressive power and plethora of interesting musical ideas. It is uncommon music making and deserves a fair hearing.
