Mutter the Shredder (Hall of Fame #93)

Writer's picture: Andy LoweAndy Lowe

It's been said that in previous centuries violinists were the rock stars. Paganini was melting faces with four strings long before Hendrix or Van Halen did it with six. In fact, I even wonder if the bar to be considered a virtuoso guitarist is a little lower than for a violininst? Maybe it's because when I listen to legendary lead guitar solos I think 'I could get there one day', whereas when I hear pieces like Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor I have no such delusions.


I didn't recognise this piece until the third movement but I was most impressed with the first. Anne-Sophie Mutter is the rock star in question, and she's phenomenal. She actually is very famous apparently. If you don't have time to watch the whole thing just check from 8 minutes in until about 9 minutes.
