»We are like tightrope walkers who try to give each other the optimal position for the triple somersault with a screw,« says Anne-Sophie Mutter, summarising the special nature of her long-standing stage partnership with Lambert Orkis. They have been rehearsing, travelling and performing together for 35 years – and are celebrated worldwide for their intense chamber music dialogues. »We like each other, we like each other’s playing and presence. [...] A large part of our communication is exclusively through sound,«... Read full text

This was essentially an artists’ friendship that was highly improbable: Anne-Sophie Mutter, international classical music star from Germany, and the legendary American soundtrack composer John Williams. But that’s only one side of the story. On the other hand, Anne-Sophie Mutter loves cinema, and is a great fan of John Williams, about whom she says that he has a genius for »building bridges between different musical languages«. John Williams wrote his jazz-inspired Second Violin Concerto especially for Anne-Sophie Mutter, whom he in turn admires greatly. She has already recorded it on CD, and now presents it to the German public in a series of top-class live concerts.

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra / Anne-Sophie Mutter / Manfred Honeck

»It’s a stroke of genius. This music is immortal,« Anne-Sophie Mutter enthused about Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto back in 2009. The star violinist is not alone in this opinion: since its premiere, the captivating work has delighted performers and audiences alike – no wonder, given the abundance of musical beauty it offers. At first, Gustav Mahler could only dream of such a sensational success for his Fifth Symphony: »The Fifth is a cursed work. No one understands it,« he grumbled, disappointed about the lack of understanding that the monumental work was met with everywhere. However, it is also possible that Mahler was simply overtaxing the listening habits of the time. Today, Mahler’s Fifth is his most popular symphony and it is impossible to imagine the repertoire of concert halls around the world without it. And when a world-class orchestra like the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra offers a performance, nothing stands in the way of a great concert evening!
