About "_ : Sarasate: _: Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy Op.25 - 2. Lento assai" by Anne Sophie Mutter
A 'Lento assai' of velvet melancholy. Mutter slows the pulse, drawing long, aching phrases that hang in the air like smoke in a dim tavern—Carmen's tragedy glimpsed in miniature, all longing and impending doom beneath the seductive surface.
