Anne-Sophie Mutter lance sa propre série d'enregistrements chez Alpha Classics, ASM Forte Forward, consacrée à la musique de notre temps : elle présentera exclusivement des œuvres contemporaines écrites pour elle. En 2026 et 2027, cette artiste exceptionnelle fêtera son jubilé : 50 ans sur scène, animés par la curiosité, la passion et l’engagement pour l'avenir de la musique. Le premier opus de cette nouvelle série, East Meets West, comprend des œuvres de quatre compositrices et compositeurs venus d’horizons divers. Le programme chemine du violon solo au répertoire pour duo et musique de chambre, puis au violon avec orchestre. Il s'ouvre sur Likoo pour violon seul de la compositrice irano-néerlandaise, Aftab Darvishi, puis vient la Gran Cadenza pour deux violons d'Unsuk Chin, compositrice sud-coréenne vivant à Berlin, le Quatuor à cordes n° 6 de Jörg Widmann, intitulé Étude sur Beethoven ; il se termine par l'oeuvre pour violon et orchestre de Thomas Adès, Air-Homage to Sibelius, créé en 2022 et enregistré ici avec le London Symphony Orchestra, sous la direction du compositeur britannique.
