The cellophane tape binding the broken edges is a telltale sign of how many times this CD booklet has been taken out and browsed over. It was more than 20 years ago that I bought this disc and the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto played by the then young Anne-Sophie Mutter became my first love of this concerto.
Since then the youthful innocence and abandon radiated from her performance here has sadly, or should I say naturally, attenuated and eventually disappeared altogether from the "mature" Mutter.
A budget-priced CD at that time, but now a true nostalgic item. Listening to it again the other day with my young boy Brian, I could really feel this cogent evidence of how time flies.
