Anne Sophie Mutter, one of the world-renown master violinists.
Went to her live performance with the Trondheim Soloists at National Music Hall with Annie Sunday night. She performed some Bartok pieces, some concertos by J.S. Bach, and the very famous Four Seasons Concertos by Antonio Vivaldi.
I'd heard of many different versions of Four Seasons (though I'd never stayed in the hotel with the same name ~ XD), but Mutter's interpretation was by far the most elegant and flowing experience! It's such a treat to listen to her play, I don't know how to describe it, but it's just an absolutely amazing experience. Another thing I'd found quite amusing was near the end, when Mutter was doing encore pieces, everytime she finishes one, she has to walk off the stage while the entire audience applauds and come back, then off and again - 3 times for each encore piece!! I did a simple tally, she'd walked on and off stage approximately 21 times during the entire performance! Now that is some workout! When she concluded her final encore piece, the audience gave her standing ovation as she led the other musicians off stage.
After the show, me and Annie waited in line for almost an hour to get her autograph! She looked a lot more 'aged' up close in person, but nonetheless she is really patient, signing her full name for each and everyone who waited in line, that must've been over 500 people!!!
It's been a really long time since I was last in the National Music Hall (Well, not really, was here last time for Annie's performance), it's such a enjoyable experience to relax and listen to great classical music. Though I know I probably shouldn't be saying this at all.... but, Annie is cute, really ~ it was a great night.
