"Mutterer’s status as a rising star was amply justified in this performance, her alluring tone and virtuosity clearly winning over the audience. It was pure joy to hear the piercing sweetness of those ultra high notes carving out singing phrases towards the end of the first movement, and it was no surprise to hear the audience applaud enthusiastically as that long, passionate Allegro con brio movement, with its gripping cadenza, came to a thrilling conclusion. Tchaikovsky’s orchestration provides ample opportunity for the soloist to shine, and that is exactly what she did. After some good-humoured wrangling with a recalcitrant peg, Mutterer gave a persuasive account of the soulful second movement Andante, and her technical assurance in the Allegro molto Finale made us wonder why anybody ever thought this concerto was “unplayable”.
Mutterer’s encore of the Sarabande from Bach’s Partita No. 2 was rendered with grace and authority – something for audience members and players alike to enjoy."

"Music at its best: technically outstanding, musically beautiful, rich in variety and also, or rather especially with the speeches very touching and absolutely harmonious.
Truly a musical moment of glory."

"Anna-Dorothea's really rich and clean bow stroke was able to fill the wide church space, as well as us who were inside, with something alive. Even the air wanted to say that there was something in the air.
But what was it? For me, it was as if someone had spoken. As if someone had taken a breath in the deep silence of the church in order to speak, to sound into this silence. To sound beautiful, to tell good things about the glory of God and certainly also about us, his people. I think everything that was said in the silence that evening was good. Music, words, prayer and of course the applause."

"Anna Dorothea Mutterer lives not far from here and has already played in many large halls around the world. An unbelievable quality! Everything performed without sheet music, mostly works by Johann Sebastian Bach. A young woman in the long dress of the soloist, but otherwise unflashy and modest in appearance, completely immersed in the music when playing (...) The artist not only enchanted us with her violin playing, she explained the works she was playing in a few words, and then the music started with incredible virtuosity .
There was a wonderful atmosphere of listening in the church."
