Anne-Sophie's personal selections from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and the Mozart Concertos, as well as Beethoven's Romance, Massenet's Meditation from Thaïs, Kreisler's Liebesleid, Previn's Song from Tango Song and Dance, Brahms's Hungarian Dance No. 6, and Gershwin's Summertime, among others.
Anne-Sophie Mutter presents her first highlights album in more than a decade.
Simply Anne-Sophie has a stunning, modern cover image and includes her personal selections from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and the Mozart Concertos, as well as Beethoven's Romance, Massenet's Meditation from Thaïs, Kreisler's Liebesleid, Previn's Song from Tango Song and Dance, Brahms's Hungarian Dance No. 6, and Gershwin's Summertime, among others.
There are very few Anne-Sophie Mutter compilations with such popular pieces on the market. Carmen Fantasy (almost 700,000 copies to date) was a bestseller in 1993, followed by Romance in 1995. Simply Anne-Sophie has almost no repertoire duplications and is Mutter's first highlights album in more than a decade.
2006 was not only Mozart Year but also Mutter Year, as Anne-Sophie's Mozart triptych emerged as one of the most successful recording projects of 2006 and possibly of her career - acclaimed by critics, it proved yet again that Anne-Sophie Mutter is one of the few top classical musicians also able to communicate with mainstream audiences.
