On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 2006 which also marked Anne-Sophie Mutter's 30th anniversary of her public debut, the brilliant violinist continues in her quest to record all of Mozart's major works for the violin. The second release of the Mozart project is a fine selection of Mozart's piano trios, which Anne-Sophie Mutter plays together with Sir André Previn and the exceptionally talented young cello player, Daniel Müller-Schott.
The pieces which Anne-Sophie Mutter chose to record are - unashamedly - the ones which give the violin most to say: These works, she says, show Mozart writing for pure enjoyment and for his own pleasure since he played them quite often. Il Teatro Accademico del Bibiena in Mantua, Italy is the setting for this intimate musical experience - a theatre that came to life by Mozart's music: On January 16, 1770 young Mozart – during his first journey to Italy - gave a concert together with his father Leopold to celebrate the opening night of the theatre.
