Anne-Sophie Mutter: Carmen-Fantasie

J. Matzner in Musikmarkt 12/93: “Sarasate’s ‘Gypsy Tunes’, even his ‘Carmen Fantasy’ cannot be played better, more brilliantly and without populist virtuosity. Mother’s violin tone sounds crystal clear and silky even in the utmost pianissimo, even in the highest harmonics. Sheer delight is conveyed by her so concise sensorium for springy tense rhythms.”
