Frank Peter Zimmermann, one of the most celebrated violinists of our time, presents a monumental collection of violin concertos by three titans of classical music: Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. This comprehensive 4-disc set, released on July 5, 2024, by haenssler CLASSIC, showcases Zimmermann's extraordinary artistry and technical brilliance across four hours and thirteen minutes of sublime chamber and orchestral music.
The album features Zimmermann's interpretations of Mozart's complete violin concertos, including the renowned "Turkish" Concerto, K. 219, and the Sinfonia Concertante in E-Flat Major, K. 364, with Antoine Tamestit on viola. Bach's violin concertos, including the iconic Concerto in D Minor, BWV 1052R, and the Concerto for 2 Violins in C Minor, BWV 1060R, are also masterfully performed. Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61, completes this extraordinary journey through the violin concerto repertoire.
Zimmermann's discography is a testament to his versatility and depth, encompassing virtually all major concerto repertoire from Bach to the present day. This album is no exception, offering a rich and varied exploration of these masterpieces. The Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio Symphony accompanies Zimmermann, providing a nuanced and sensitive backdrop to his virtuosic playing.
With its exceptional sound quality and meticulous attention to detail, this album is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Zimmermann's work or a newcomer to the world of violin concertos, this collection promises to be a rewarding and enriching experience.
