Review:
Some sensations occur without much ado, as they almost seem to be a matter of course. One such sensation took place at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall in February 1978, when Herbert von Karajan introduced the 14-year-old violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter to the Berlin public in Mozart's G major Concerto. After the young musician had gone through her baptism of fire with flying colors the conductor beamed and the Berlin Philharmonic players applauded enthusiastically — a rare occurrence. Her fellow performers and the audience had been equally aware of how auspicious her debut had been.
