Two stars from different generations, artists of the highest calibre, mark their collaboration with an album devoted to one of the supreme landmarks of classical music. Anne-Sophie Mutter, who in 2016 celebrated the 40th anniversary of her professional debut, and Daniil Trifonov, now in his mid-twenties, joined forces with three outstanding young string playing alumni of the Mutter Foundation at the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus in June to perform Schubert's 'Piano Quintet in A Major', popularly known as the 'Trout' quintet. They also explored the composer's 'Notturno', a sublime late work for violin, cello and piano, and arrangements of his songs 'Ständchen' and 'Ave Maria' for violin and piano.
