Aida Stuckie was a Swiss violinist and teacher whose career began when she won the Geneva Competition in 1940. After this initial success she toured Europe and performed under the most famous conductors including Pina Pozzi, Walter Frey, Christoph Lieske, and Elly Ney. Dedicated to education, she began teaching in 1948, and continued throughout the rest of her life, taking a position at Zurcher Hochschule der Kunste in 1992, where she remained until her retirement. Anne-Sophie Mutter is her most famous student. She wrote of her teacher: "Aïda Stucki's recognition as an artist is both inevitable and overdue. Her artistry is a timeless inspiration. Her interpretation incorporates bewitching sound, personal instinct coupled with great insight to the wishes of the composer. I admire this great violinist deeply. These recordings are a must for any string player and music lover." (Anne-Sophie Mutter) This album won the German Record Critics' Award, 2010.
