Anne-Sophie Mutter plays Mozart: Trios for Violin, Cello and Piano

Synopsis

All three trios on this recording are lending weight to the claim that they are the three finest and most exemplary works in this genre by Mozart. In the earliest of the three, K. 502, Mozart broke through the traditional predominance of the piano to give equal weight to the strings, whereby the violin is given ample opportunity to display the soloist‘s bravura. Joining Anne-Sophie Mutter on this recording is the internationally acclaimed young cellist Daniel Müller-Schott. At the piano is Sir André Previn, pianist, conductor, composer and gifted accompanist. The stunning location of the concert – the late-Baroque Teatro Bibiena in Mantua – bears a subtle connection to Mozart, for it is here that the 14-year-old Wolfgang gave a recital with his father in January 1770 while on his first tour of Italy.
