Brahms: Violinkonzert / Schumann: Fantasie op. 131

Anne‐Sophie Mutter teams with Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic on Deutsche Grammophon for a sternly poetic reading of the Brahms violin concerto paired with Schumann’s Fantasie op. 131 — lush strings, warm vibrato and a poised, muscular bow stroke meet Masur’s broad, symphonic pacing. The late-Romantic repertory here favors lyricism, technical authority and orchestral clarity.
