Frank Peter Zimmermann’s recording of Elgar’s Violin Concerto released on 15 May 2026

Following his acclaimed recordings of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas, concertante works by Stravinsky, Bartók and Martinů, and, more recently, works for violin and piano by Bartók and Szymanowski with pianist Dmytro Choni, BIS Records releases Frank Peter Zimmermann’s recording of Edward Elgar’s Violin Concerto. This monumental work, a “Mount Everest” for any violinist due to its unbridled lyricism and unique proportions, features Zimmermann alongside the London Philharmonic Orchestra under principal conductor Edward Gardner.
