Ever since their first appearance together at the Waldbhne in 1985, Zimmermann and the Berlin Philharmonic have enjoyed a close association, and there is scarcely a conductor shaping today’s orchestral world who has not collaborated with this outstanding violinist.The set opens with the Beethoven Violin Concerto, which Zimmermann himself calls “the Everest of violin concertos”. Returning to the work with the Berlin Philharmonic for the first time in thirty years, he gives a performance of flawless assurance, with Daniel Harding drawing soloist and orchestra into close partnership
