Anne-Sophie Mutter spoke with The Globe's David Perkins yesterday on topics ranging from rumors of her retirement (not true), to the world premiere of Sir André Previn's double concerto for double-bass and violin in April with the BSO, to tonight's Symphony Hall program of Mozart sonatas:
"Mutter has spent the Mozart anniversary year performing Mozart concertos and sonatas, to the accompaniment of CD releases by Deutsche Grammophon. It's also the 30th anniversary of her debut at the Lucerne Festival, where she was discovered. Can you have too much Mozart? 'A musician can never get tired of him, and the violin repertoire covers such a large life span,' she said. 'In our recitals, Lambert [Orkis, her accompanist] and I arrange the Mozart sonatas from three different periods of his mature career, so that you have this great crescendo of compositional imagination.'"
Read all of Mutter still takes her music seriously
