About

Frank Peter Zimmermann is widely regarded as one of the foremost violinists of his generation. He has performed with all the major orchestras in the world, including the Berliner Philharmoniker, with whom he made his debut in 1985 with Daniel Barenboim; the Wiener Philharmoniker, with whom he played for the first time in 1983 with Lorin Maazel in Salzburg; the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, all of the London orchestras, as well as all the renowned American orchestras. Zimmermann is a regular guest at major music festivals including Salzburg, Edinburgh and Lucerne. Over the years he has built up an impressive discography for EMI Classics, Sony Classical, BIS, Ondine, Hänssler, Decca, Teldec and ECM. He has recorded virtually all of the major concerto repertoire, ranging from Bach to Ligeti, Dean and Pintscher; the six solo sonatas of Ysaÿe; the 24 Caprices of Paganini and the complete Violin Sonatas of J.S. Bach and Mozart. Born in 1965 in Duisburg, Germany, he started learning playing the violin with his mother when he was 5 years old. He studied with Valery Gradov, Saschko Gawriloff and Herman Krebbers. He plays on a 1711 Antonius Stradivari violin ‘Lady Inchiquin’, which has been kindly provided by the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, ‘Kunst im Landesbesitz’.

Reviews

March 2018

Drawn from the Berlin Philharmonic, the Baroque Soloists yield a cut-glass sound on modernised period instruments. As one might expect, these are honed, pristine accounts with scrupulous attention to Bach’s filigree writing. At times, tempos are rather motoric and driven…and the readings lack a little in pliancy and rhetorical freedom. Yet these wee cavils don’t seriously detract from these highly refined accounts.

April 2018

The recording delivers tingling clarity within the contrapuntal writing, highlighting the dynamic playing of the Berlin Baroque Soloists.

International Classical Music Awards 2019

On their new, mesmerizing CD with violin concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, Berliner Barock Solisten and Frank Peter Zimmermann prove that modern instruments and historically informed playing combine in high-level performances. Rhetorical freedom and lively dynamics as well as truly enthusiastic playing are the most characteristic values of the production.
