艺人资料
穆特1963年生于德国莱茵菲尔顿,自幼天资超群,7岁就参加了德国的青少年音乐比赛并获得特别头等奖。1976年穆特13岁时,音乐大师赫伯特·冯·卡拉扬在柏林聆听了她的演奏,兴奋异常,当即决定让她参加1977年萨尔斯堡维松艺术节的演奏会,同年又让她在夏季艺术节上演出。第二年2月,穆特有幸在音乐大师卡拉扬指挥下,由柏林爱乐交响乐团协奏,演出莫扎特《G大调协奏曲》,听众为她报以雷鸣股的掌声。数日后,她又在柏林音乐厅再次成功地演出了莫扎特《c大调协奏曲》和《A大调协奏曲》,并录制了她的第一张唱片。卡拉扬盛赞穆特为“自青年梅纽因之后最杰出的小提琴天才”。自此,穆特的演奏遍及世界各地,她在著名的音乐殿堂受到人们的欢呼。20余年来穆特演奏录制的唱片先后获得过国际迪斯科唱片大奖和日本东京录音学院大奖。1985年英国伦敦皇家音乐学院授予穆特小提琴金交椅获得者称号,翌年穆特被授命为该院名誉研究员。她与年长27岁的DG唱片公司法律顾问温德里希于1990年结为夫妻。但仅仅过了5年,温德里希因癌症离她远去,这让当时年仅33岁又是两个孩子母亲的她跌入情感重创的深渊。 2001年8月,39岁的穆特又与比自己年长34岁,有过3次婚姻的指挥大师普列文结为夫妇 。

Life and career
Anne-Sophie Mutter (born 29 June 1963) is a German violinist. Supported early in her career by Herbert von Karajan, she has built a strong reputation for championing contemporary music with several works being composed specially for her including by Sebastian Currier, Henri Dutilleux, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutosławski, Norbert Moret, Krzysztof Penderecki, André Previn, and Wolfgang Rihm.
Mutter was born in Rheinfelden, Germany. She began playing the piano at the age of five, and shortly afterwards took up the violin, studying with Erna Honigberger, a pupil of Carl Flesch. After Honigberger's death she continued her studies with Aida Stucki at the Winterthur Conservatory.
After winning several prizes, Mutter was exempted from school to dedicate herself to music full-time. At age 13, Herbert von Karajan invited her to play with the Berlin Philharmonic, and she made her public debut on stage in 1976 at the Lucerne Festival, playing Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major. In 1977, she made her debut at the Salzburg Festival and with the English Chamber Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim. At 15, Mutter made her first recording of the Mozart Third and Fifth violin concerti with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.
In 1980, Mutter made her American debut with the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta. In 1985, at the age of 22, she was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Academy of Music (London) and head of its faculty of international violin studies and in 1986 an honorary member. In 1988, she made a grand tour of Canada and the United States, playing for the first time at Carnegie Hall. In 1998 she played and recorded for CD and DVD the complete set of Beethoven's Violin Sonatas, accompanied by Lambert Orkis; these were broadcast on television in many countries.
Though her repertoire includes many classical works, Mutter is particularly known for her performances of contemporary music. Several pieces have been specially written for or dedicated to her, including Henri Dutilleux's Sur le même accord, Krzysztof Penderecki's Second Violin Concerto, Witold Lutosławski's Chain 2 and the orchestral version of Partita, and Wolfgang Rihm's Gesungene Zeit ("Time Chant"), Lichtes Spiel, and Dyade. In August 2007, she premiered Sofia Gubaidulina's Violin Concerto No. 2 "In tempus praesens." She has received various prizes, including several Grammys.
In October 2006, on French television, Mutter appeared to indicate that she would be retiring when she turned 45, in 2008. However the following month she said that her words were "misinterpreted" and that she would continue to play as long as she felt she could "bring anything new, anything important, anything different to music".
