Anne-Sophie Mutter recently said in an interview that she would retire once she could add nothing new to the repertoire. Judged from this recording, she is far from retiring any time soon.
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung hit it right on the nail: "fiery passion as well as flawless control". The emotional charge that Mutter managed in these sonatas are at least on a par with the recently-resurfaced recording of Ferras-Barbizet Christian Ferras plays Violin Sonatas, yet she manages to smooth out the "rough edges" and put a more feminine feel on the violin tone. Bravo for making the violin sing like a soprano. The way she played with the high notes in the G-major sonata, left them in a reverie, and then just parked them up there without letting them fall has only been achieved by very few violinists.

Now, here's a mystery. You can watch a promotional video for this release on YouTube, but you can't buy the product, either as a CD or a download, if you live in the US or Canada? Whatever can be the reason? It isn't as if the repertoire is obscure - or the artist is unknown. I wish I could purchase this without massive shipping or import surcharges!
As for the rating, I suspect it's a stunning recording, but I can't say right now. I gave it five stars because Amazon won't let you post a review without a rating.

I couldn't call myself a Brahms fan, and this has done less than I had hoped to change that status. However, it is a beautiful performance, well recorded and I am glad to own it.
