25/11/2011 Fugata Quintet, Anne-Sophie Mutter

Presented by Sean Rafferty. With a performance from young Nuevo Tango ensemble the Fugata Quintet, and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter talking about her career.

Presented by Sean Rafferty.

The Fugata Quintet are a young Nuevo Tango ensemble who play the music of the Argentinian tango composer Astor Piazzolla in the style and instrumentation that the composer himself envisaged. They perform with this line-up - accordion, guitar, piano, double bass and violin - live in the In Tune studio.

Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter shot to prominence aged only 13 after being spotted by conductor Herbert von Karajan and has since forged a stellar career and made a name for herself as a champion of contemporary music. She talks to Sean ahead of concerts with the London Symphony Orchestra as its featured artist this season.
