No. She still records exclusively for DG. The Erato recording was made
and released years ago, I think in the 80s, but Erato recently reissued it
at a lower price and with a more glamorous-looking cover. BTW, if you care
about Prokofiev and how it ought to be played, you should avoid that
recording of the 1st Violin Concerto.
In case you don't already know, Mutter also recorded for EMI before DG
decided to give her an exclusive contract.
