Gramophone Magazine Editor's Choice (September 2013)
Frank Peter Zimmermann, who in 2010 was awarded the international Paul Hindemith Prize of the City of Hanau, makes a great case for these works. His Trio recently won the 2013 BBC Music Magazine Award for their Chamber recording of Beethoven's Trio Op. 9.
In the concerto Zimmermann teams up with Paavo Järvi, another recipient of the Paul Hindemith Prize and principal conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
"this rewarding new release is a reminder of [Hindemith's] continued close affinity with the [viola]...Virtuosity is not so much the music's aim as expressivity, yet Zimmermann plays with brilliance throughout." (BBC Music Magazine, November 2013)
"Such a fine production can only be greeted in the warmest possible terms. If your idea of Hindemith is one of him as a rather dry 20th century Germanic caste give this disc a try - a juicier programme of violin music would be harder to find this side of WWI." (MusicWeb International, October 2013)
