Anne-Sophie Mutter & John Williams on their artistic relationship (Episode 3)

John Williams’ Violin Concerto No. 2 was written for and recorded by the venerated composer’s friend and frequent collaborator Anne-Sophie Mutter. Her impassioned world premiere performance was given with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Williams, in Tanglewood. In these series of conversations with John Williams and Anne-Sophie Mutter, the artists talk about the story behind and their thoughts about the Violin Concerto No. 2 as well as their inspiring collaboration with each other and with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In Part 3, John Williams describes his special connection to the violin and how much he admires this instrument. Both artists also talk about their long-lasting, inspiring and very special artistic relationship.
“I can only think of this piece as being about Anne-Sophie. I took my inspiration and energy directly from this great artist herself.” - John Williams
