Review of Frank Peter Zimmermann: The Complete Warner Recordings published on 24 September 2022

Modest and self-effacing, Frank Peter Zimmermann is a sophisticated musician whose career path is universally admired. This thirty-CD boxset celebrates his eminent recording history with EMI/Warner Classics, a collaboration which began in March 1984. Highlights in this box include the complete cycle of Mozart's violin concertos, Paganini's Twenty-Four Caprices, Ysaÿe's six violin sonatas and the complete sonatas of Prokofiev – with Zimmermann playing both parts in the Sonata for two violins. The box also represents his chamber music work, including performances of Mozart's Piano Quartets Nos 1 and 2, and the Brahms Horn Trio.
