Anne-Sophie Mutter and Camerata Salzburg October 6, 2008

She has smitten audiences around the globe with her exquisite artistry and graceful elegance, securing her position as one of the most sought-after violinists of our time.

Early in her career, Von Karajan pronounced Anne-Sophie Mutter “the greatest young musical talent since Menuhin,” and now, as soloist and leading the brilliantly high-spirited Camerata Salzburg, she brings with her the glorious music of Bach in her Krannert Center Great Hall debut performance.

The program will feature Mutter in Bach’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, BWV 1041 and Violin Concerto No. 2 in E Major, BWV 1042, and she will be joined by her protégé Vilde Frang in the composer’s Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, BWV 1043.

Mutter, who performs alternately on her 1703 “Emiliani” and her 1710 “Lord Dunn-Raven” Stradivariuses, will close the program with a display of her virtuosic skills in a performance of Tartini’s explosive Devil’s Trill.
