"Anne-Sophie Mutter makes strong men quail" (The Telegraph). Certainly, the German prize-winning violinist has maintained a nearly forty year career at the very top of her profession, playing an instrument that ever since Paganini, the archetype of the demonic violin virtuoso, had been seen as male-dominated. Today she performs a work that would probably be played more often if it had been called "The Bernstein Violin Concerto". Bernstein's Serenade after Plato's Symposium for solo violin, strings, harp, and percussion, an unusual suite inspired, intriguingly, by different kinds of love, is one of his finest and most sparkling concert works; Mutter's performance, with her second husband Andre Previn conducting, is magnificent.
