Tabea Zimmermann - Solo (2009/2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

For many years, Tabea Zimmermann has been regarded as one of the most renowned musicians of our time. Audiences and fellow musicians value her charismatic personality and deep musical understanding. Arguably the finest violist in the world today, Tabea Zimmermann owes her success not only to her exceptional talent, but also to the support of her parents, thorough training by excellent teachers, and a tireless enthusiasm to communicate her understanding and love of music to her audience. As a soloist she regularly works with the most distinguished orchestras worldwide such as the Berlin Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, London Symphony Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic. Following residencies in Weimar, Luxembourg, Hamburg and with the Bamberg Symphony, Tabea Zimmermann was artist-in-residence with the Ensemble Resonanz in 2013/14 and 2014/15, and continues this close collaboration this season. In the 2015/16 season, she was artist-in-residence of the Frankfurt Museums-Gesellschaft.

After more than 30 CDs released through EMI, Teldec, and Deutsche Grammophon, Tabea Zimmermann's huge musical range is clearly evident. This is her first solo album, and her debut for Myrios Classics. Interwoven with three rarely heard suites by Max Reger, Zimmermann offers transcriptions of two Bach cello suites.

"Tabea Zimmermann is one of the greatest players of our time (on any instrument)." (The Observer)

"In every single bar of the recording, Tabea Zimmermann convinces the listener with her polished and naturally-agravic interpretation. Every phrase is filled with meaning and opens or closes a musical flow. Discipline and freedom, dancelike rhythm and improvisatory gesture seem to balance themselves effortlessly." (Bayern 4 Radio, Germany)
