Frank Peter Zimmermann’s interpretation…is the real deal. His technique is more than adequate to the Concerto’s virtuoso challenges and his musicianship to its expressive potential. His account is also lighter in tone and swifter than either Oistrakh’s or Gertler’s, with no loss of gravity where needed.
…Zimmermann’s readings pacier without being driven or sacrificing his beautifully consonant tone.
This is the kind of advocacy Hindemith’s music has been crying out for, caught in topnotch sound, as usual.
