A violinist of outstanding accomplishment and integrity, Frank Peter Zimmermann has for decades sustained achievement at the highest level as a concerto soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. As the New York Times has written, “Mr. Zimmermann's style is based on an absolutely clean technique and a true ability to let music unfold and develop at a natural pace.” Before recording any work in his repertoire, from essential masterpieces to intriguing rarities, Zimmermann has taken time to understand and define the meaning of every note in the context of his interpretation. As a consequence, each of these 30 albums – originally the fruit of his long collaboration with EMI Classics (and Teldec) – bears witness to the grace, insight and authority of his playing.
