For this New Year’s Eve Concert, the Berliner Philharmoniker presented themselves in French musical garb: Under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle, the programme included orchestral works by Chabrier, Poulenc, Massenet and Ravel. With links to the Philharmoniker that go back over many years, star violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter gave sparkling performances of Saint-Saëns’s Introduction et Rondo capriccioso and the Tzigane by Maurice Ravel.

Anne-Sophie Mutter plays Dvořák’s Violin Concerto
The career of Anne-Sophie Mutter, who made her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker under the direction of Herbert von Karajan when she was only thirteen, is inextricably linked with the orchestra. This recording documents a guest performance with Manfred Honeck and Dvořák’s Violin Concerto. As always, the unique tone of the violinist is astounding: velvety and rich while still fresh and flexible, unspeakably beautiful but never aiming for superficial gloss.
