Violinist Anne Sophie Mutter on life and music

Violinist Anne Sophie Mutter is one of the true superstars of classical music. Since her first concerts on the world’s most prestigious stages, Mutter has inspired audiences around the globe with recitals, concerto performances and dozens of recordings.

Mutter spoke with WKAR’s Peter Whorf a few days ago about the completion of herU.S. recital tour tonight at Ann Arbor’s Hill Auditorium. They talked about everything from tonight’s program to family members and some traveling companions near and dear to Anne Sophie’s heart.
