BIS Records recently released Frank Peter Zimmermann’s latest CD recording. Together with the Bamberger Symphoniker conducted by Jakub Hrůša he plays Stravinsky’s violin concerto, the first and second Rhapsodies by Bartók, as well as the rarely performed Suite concertante by Martinů. The Strad magazine hails it as “an outstanding album, successful in every regard.”
A great review – and Editor’s Choice March 2024 – in the Gramophone magazine for the debut CD of the Trio Zimbalist, released on the Curtis Institute label. The trio, with violinist Josef Špaček, cellist Timotheos Gavriilidis-Petrin and pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu play piano trios by Auerbach, Dvořák and Weinberg.
” …an astonishingly accomplished debut.”
