Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording
This was Anne-Sophie Mutter's debut recording, made when she was fourteen. Too bad the original photo of her smiling angel face wasn't reprinted from the original LP. But the music was, and that's what counts. Schnabel said that Mozart was too simple for children and too difficult for adults. Apparently the adolescent Mutter fits right between. She plays Mozart with charm, grace, and fluency, picking up the subtle fluctuations of emotion and making every gesture count. Not even the bland accompaniments of Herbert von Karajan can hamper this glorious playing, one of the great debuts in recorded history, and the 1978 recording still sounds fine. --Leslie Gerber

Mutter's debut recording
05/30/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This was Mutter's debut recording when she was in her teens. One can already see her great potential at that time. Here, her playing is sweet and precise. However, Karajan is a little overbearing and tends to dominate his young soloist. This is an interesting CD in that one can see the difference in Mutter's style when compared to her later recordings."
