More Details on J S Bach - Sonatas for Violin and Piano BWV1014-1019
Frank Peter Zimmermann is one of the world's top violinists and the recipient of many awards. Accompanied by Enrico Pace, his pianist since 1998, he plays Bach’s Violin Sonatas on this DVD, recorded in one of Germany's most beautiful Baroque halls.
Bonus documentary: Bach and me - with personal insights, including an interview, a rehearsal with Zimmermann’s son Serge, excerpts from a concert with his newly founded string trio in Paris and a Sibelius concert in Copenhagen.
Live recording from the Bibliothekssaal Kloster Polling.
"Playing Bach's violin and obbligato keyboard sonatas with piano instead of harpsichord is almost unheard of these days, so by definition this release enters a specialised category. For sheer craft and artistry, however, it goes straight into the top rank… the pure musical intelligence of Frank Peter Zimmermann and Enrico Pace that enables these performances to transcend such local concerns… For movingly expressive performances of these great works without anachronistic Romanticisms, these will not be bettered." - Gramophone
