Anne-Sophie Mutter (29. Juni 1963 in Rheinfelden, Baden) ist eine deutsche Geigerin.
Mutter was born in the German town of Rheinfelden, which lies some 15 km East of Basel on the northern bank of the High Rhine river, across which lies the Swiss town of the same name. 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.

For the mood and spirit of this album, the composer stayed very close to his melody lines, and used a unique, deceptively simple one-note, right-hand style of playing. by Dom Cerulli
Curious, for during the entire length of the disc, Jobim, who is the featured soloist, plays what amounts to one-finger piano. by P.W.
