Anne-Sophie Mutter, one of the greatest violinists of our time, will celebrate her 60th birthday on June 29, 2023. Deutsche Grammophon is honoring the wonderful artist with a limited and numbered Vinyl Edition (5LPs) of her solo recordings under the baton of her early mentor Herbert von Karajan.

Set content ranges from Mutter's 1978 DG debut album with Mozart's 3rd and 5th Violin Concertos to those from Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bruch and Brahms, all with Berliner Philharmoniker. LP 5 includes a live recording of Tchaikovsky's Concerto with Wiener Philharmoniker from 1988, which turned out to be the very last performance of Anne-Sophie Mutter and Herbert von Karajan. The set provides five LPs on 180-gram vinyl and a 16-page inlay (English/German) with track listings, liner notes by Dorothea Walchshäusl, photos and facsimiles of the recording documentation.
