It was in the depths of her native Black Forest that Anne-Sophie Mutter first encountered John Williams’ music. The violinist recalls that there was not much else to do in that magical setting apart from play the violin, go for a walk, play football or go to the cinema. So in 1978, when Star Wars was released, the young girl discovered the existence of the man who was already a film score legend in Hollywood, largely thanks to Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. In this album, which includes new arrangements of some of John Williams’ iconic film music, she reinterprets excerpts from Georges Lucas’ saga, such as the lyrical piece Rey’s Theme from Episode VII, the mystical Yoda’s Theme, as well as Across the Stars, a melancholic romantic song from Star Wars: Attack of The Clones.
Some of John Williams’ other great classics also feature on the album, including Hedwig’s Theme (which Mutter describes as “Harry Potter meets Paganini”), and Schindler’s List (whose solo violin part was originally played by the great Itzhak Perlman). Alongside these legendary pieces, the album also includes more original choices, such as an excerpt from the soundtrack of Tintin and the Secret of the Unicorn (the tense piece The Duel), as well as a glamourous waltz from Sabrina (Sydney Pollack’s remake of Billy Wilder’s famous film). Across the Stars was recorded at the Sony Pictures Scoring Stage in Hollywood, where so many iconic scores were born, from The Wizard of Oz and Lawrence of Arabia to Singin’ in the Rain and E.T., the latter unfortunately missing from this nevertheless vibrant and invigorating record. © Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz
