Interview
Frank Peter Zimmermann in conversation with Christoph Streuli Brahms’s Violin Concerto with Frank Peter Zimmermann and Bernard Haitink
It is actually astonishing that Brahms’s Violin Concerto is considered one of the most popular as it forgoes any play on the tension between soloist and orchestra; the effect is rather one of mutual support for each other. Here, Frank Peter Zimmermann presents the work “with warmth and intensity” in a “sensational” performance, as the press described it. Bernard Haitink also conducted Bartók’s sharply contoured Concerto for Orchestra.
