The dazzling German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter returns to the Boston Symphony Orchestra as both soloist and conductor for a second night, Saturday, October 1, performing Mozart’s violin concertos nos. 1, 2, and 4 to begin the 2011-12 subscription season. This concert completes Mutter and the BSO’s season-opening cycle of Mozart’s violin concertos begun with the Opening Night at Symphony gala performance September 30. Ms. Mutter is celebrating 35 years on stage this season, having made her solo debut in 1976 at the Lucerne Festival at the age of 13.
All composed between 1773 and 1775—when he was just 17 to 19 years old—Mozart’s five violin concertos are remarkable evidence of the composer’s early brilliance, humming with elegance and vitality. Ms. Mutter has received wide-ranging acclaim for her recordings of all five Mozart violin concertos, which were released in 2005.
