Experience the enchanting mastery of Anne-Sophie Mutter in this captivating live album, recorded in January 1999. This exquisite collection features two iconic works of Baroque music: Antonio Vivaldi's "Le quattro stagioni" (The Four Seasons) and Giuseppe Tartini's "Sonata in G minor, B. g5," famously known as "Il trillo del diavolo" (The Devil's Trill).

Following this, the album presents Tartini's challenging and dramatic "Il trillo del diavolo," showcasing Mutter's extraordinary skill and musicality.
With a duration of over an hour, this album offers a rich and immersive listening experience, highlighting the beauty and complexity of Baroque chamber music. Recorded live, the performances capture the energy and spontaneity of a live concert, providing an intimate glimpse into Mutter's artistry.
