    Great for violin lovers and Mutter fans

    This DVD contains Beethoven's violin sonatas no 5 (Spring) and no 9 (Kreutzer), played by Anne-Sophie Mutter (violin) and Lambert Orkis (piano), plus a documentary film about Mutter's life with Beethoven.

    The playing is excellent, expressive and quite beautiful (although I'm no violin expert). The audio recording is high quality with a quiet background and well placed instruments - to my ear the violin is recorded better than the piano (I've heard more accurate piano renderings on good piano solo CDs, but piano is a very difficult instrument to get right, and perhaps it's fitting that the violin should take precedence on a recording like this).

    The documentary is interesting, especially the parts that show how Mutter and Orkis work together.

    I'd recommend this disc to anyone who's interested in violin or piano.
