Violin Concertos Nos. 2 & 5 - Sinfonia Concertante

Regarded as one of the most acclaimed violinists of his generation, Frank Peter Zimmermann brings his intelligence and brilliance to this new album of Mozarts violin concertos and Sinfonia Concertante. Zimmermanns concerts have taken him throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, South America and the United States, and he has collaborated with the finest orchestras in the world. Zimmermanns poise, sweet expression and unforced athleticism were a constant pleasure, and the ruminative approach into the first-movement cadenza was dovetailing par excellence. Best of all was the relaxed approach to the finale, normally rushed off its feet, but here mercurial and shapely. (classicalsource.com)
