Customer Reviews of Anne-Sophie Mutter - Beethoven's Complete Violin Sonatas
Appealing Enough, But Could be Better Though All things considered these DVDs not bad at all. The sound is excellent, so is the picture. Mutter's sound is mellow and beautiful and her technique is marvelous. The photography is good, whether it is angle of view or the violinist's dresses. But the effect of the many lines on her face is quite something-- at least giving us an impression that as though she was in great agony.
To be fair, the pianist paid too much attention to the violin compromising a bit. But he is not inspiring in any event. Lev Oborin maintained a better equilibrium even though it was Oistrakh that he was playing with. It was B/W though and they only played a few of the sonatas. Musically, Kempff (with Menuhin) did a much much better job , but that was available CD only.
Here it seems that Mutter was probing deeper into the music. One gets the feeling that she has digested some of Menuhin's way of expression though not completely- and that would not be desirable in any event. At one point or two, she might be overdoing things a bit and some notes do seem to live, at least they're not quite convincing enough. But that is rare and on the whole, these are very enjoyable perfomances. So unless you have some strong preference, these recitals are appealing enough for most if not all of the audiences.
von Karajan lives on, unfortunately
I can't help but wonder if Sweet Anne spent too much time with old Herbie many moons ago. Unbelievably, the biography included with this so-so DVD begins with her waxing poetic about Karajan while plugging the Beethoven Violin Concerto they did together (which I admit is quite pleasant to watch).
It just seems she now has the Karajan mentality which I find cold and distant and it shows in these sonatas. They're not bad but it left me unsatisfied.
The experience of owning a fake diamond.
Not her greatest performance
With all of the wonderful violin DVDs available, I found this one a disappointment and a waste of time.
I've seen Anne-Sophie Mutter in person, which provided a better performance, but as for DVDs of violin performers, try Nadja Solerna Solnenberg or Nigel Kennedy and enjoy some real passion.
