German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is a titan of her instrument. Not content with merely mastering the classics of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, she has bravely ventured fourth into contemporary realms, consistently pushing her own virtuosity to new heights. For the Barbican Centre’s 2016-17 season, she will return to London for a typically diverse recital that will showcase every facet of her talent. Pianist Lambert Orkis will serve as accompanist.
The evening begins with its most recent work. Sebastian Currier’s Clockwork (1989), written for the Julliard’s Lewis Kaplan, is a four-part composition that captures the constant rhythms of a timepiece. It will be followed by the oldest – Mozart’s Violin Sonata in A major (1787). The composer’s final substantial work for the instrument, it features one of his most daring ranges. A suitable piece for such a chameleonic player.
After the interval, Mutter will return to join the gaps. Respighi’s Violin Sonata in B minor (1917) is an expressive gem of late romanticism that remains a cornerstone of Mutter’s repertoire. The night then closes with the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (1863) by Saint-Saëns, composed for violin and orchestra but here reconfigured on a more intimate scale. It should be a dazzling conclusion to a stimulating night.
Tickets for the Barbican Centre’s 2016-17 season open to the general public at 10am on 10 Feb. Members booking opens at the same time on 3 Feb, while Members Plus can purchase from 1 Feb.
