Completing the album is Vivaldi's "Sonata for Violin and Continuo in G Minor, B. g5 - 'Il trillo del diavolo'," a challenging and virtuosic piece that Mutter tackles with aplomb. Her performance is both technically impressive and deeply moving, showcasing her ability to connect with the music on a profound level.
Anne-Sophie Mutter's "The Four Seasons" is a testament to her artistry and her enduring love for classical music. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of the violin, and the skill of one of the world's most renowned violinists.
