Anne-Sophie Mutter (born June 29 , 1963 ) is a German Violin ist. Born in Rheinfelden in Baden , Germany , she started playing the Piano at age five. Shortly thereafter, she began playing the violin, studying with Erna Honigberger and Aida Stucki. After winning several prizes, she was exempted from school to dedicate herself to her art. When she was 13, conductor Herbert Von Karajan invited her to play with the Berlin Philharmonic . In 1977 , she made her debut at the Salzburg Festival and with the English Chamber Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim . At 15, Mutter made her first recording of the Mozart Third and Fifth Violin Concertos with von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. The same year, she was named Artist of the Year. In 1980 , she made her American debut with the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta . In 1985 , at the age of 22, she was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Academy Of Music (London) and head of its faculty of international violin studies. In 1988 , she made a grand tour of Canada and the United States, playing for the first time at Carnegie Hall . In 1998 she played and recorded for CD and DVD the complete set of Beethoven 's Violin Sonatas, accompanied by Lambert Orkis; these were broadcast on television in many countries. Though her repertoire includes many classical works, Mutter is particularly known for her performances of modern music. A number of pieces have been especially written for or dedicated to her, including Witold Lutoslawski 's ''Partita'', Krzysztof Penderecki 's Second Violin Concerto and Wolfgang Rihm 's ''Gesungene Zeit'' ("Time Chant"). She has received various prizes, including several Grammy s. She also owns two Stradivarius violins (The Emiliani of 1703, and the Lord Dunn-Raven of 1710).
