About
Regarded as one of the most acclaimed violinists of his generation, Frank Peter Zimmermann brings his intelligence and brilliance to this new album of Mozart’s violin concertos and Sinfonia Concertante. Zimmermann’s concerts have taken him throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, South America and the United States, and he has collaborated with the finest orchestras in the world. “Zimmermann’s poise, sweet expression and unforced athleticism were a constant pleasure, and the ruminative approach into the first-movement cadenza was dovetailing par excellence. Best of all was the relaxed approach to the finale, normally rushed off its feet, but here mercurial and shapely.” (classicalsource.com)

September 2016
[The performance], with Frank Peter Zimmermann and Antoine Tamestit as the eloquent soloists, is immensely enjoyable…Zimmermann again gives beautifully refined performances, with tasteful cadenzas and lead-ins. Szulc and the orchestra provide appropriately stamping rhythms in the famous ‘Turkish’ episode of the A major Concerto’s finale
July 2016
These new performances are brisk and no-nonsense in the current fashion, devoid of romantic lingering or interventionist point-making…[they] sound just as youthful as Zimmermann’s earlier recordings…the Turkish episode in the Fifth Concerto’s finale is flavoured with a pinch of paprika, but not drowned in it

These are superb performances, which I consider the equal of the much admired and evergreen Grumiaux accounts.
