Mozart: The Violin Concertos

原载于DG公司2005年11月发行的“穆特演奏莫扎特小提琴协奏曲&交响协奏曲”专辑的小册子中： 2006年，穆特将用这张莫扎特小提琴协奏曲全集来庆祝莫扎特250周年诞辰——同时也是穆特首演30周年——这张无以伦比的双张CD中也包括她与巴什梅特一起合作的交响协奏曲。从她13岁那年第一次为卡拉扬演奏开始，莫扎特就总是出现在她的生活中：“我从未停止对他的思考——他是我与之一起成长的作曲家，他就好像一直在我事业的关键时刻等着我一样。” 穆特以她那种对她所喜爱的作曲家的全方位的把握而闻名。对于莫扎特，这一点意味着，所有将被演奏的小提琴协奏曲都将由我们今天最大名鼎鼎的独奏家指挥，是的，她自己。 一系列的录音计划会引起评论家和她广大听众的注意。穆特的CD迷们会很乐于在那些精致的作品中听到她的演奏，而行家们也将被穆特的方式和成就所吸引。 穆特自己用来描述隐藏在这个工程背后的动机最能反映它的重要性：“我非常热爱莫扎特的音乐，因为它使我感动得无以复加，热泪盈眶，也因为它最能接近听众的心。这个工程是对他的庆祝，也是对他的天才深深的致敬。” ==================================== Anne-Sophie Mutter takes on dual roles of soloist and conductor in this new complete Mozart Violin Concerto collection, turning in performances of exceptional polish, vitality, and coherence. Mutter's virtuosity is never in doubt as she plays with full, confident tone and spirited energy. This, plus her stylish and wholly idiomatic interpretations remind us of just how brilliant and accomplished a performer she is--refreshing after last year's bizarrely self-indulgent Tchaikovsky concerto recording. Throughout this set Mutter places her prodigious talents and skills (to quote the well-worn phrase) "in the service of the music", presenting Mozart pretty much unfiltered. She's marvelous in the arching melodies of No. 5 (the slow movement is all serenity) and the vibrant rhythms of No. 3, while No. 4 has a harmonic richness that looks forward to Mendelssohn. Like Perlman before her, Mutter communicates her sheer pleasure in playing this music, though she avoids his tendency to pour on the schmaltz. The set offers a substantial bonus in the Sinfonia concertante, with violist Yuri Bashmet joining Mutter in a sparkling and tonally sumptuous rendition, worthy of comparison to Böhm's. The London Philharmonic plays handsomely under Mutter's direction, while Deutsche Grammophon's solidly focused recording nicely balances soloists and orchestra. This is a quintessential modern Mozart violin concerto collection--a highly recommendable achievement. --Victor Carr Jr, ClassicsToday.com Works on This Recording 1.
