Frank Peter Zimmermann, Antoine Tamestit and Christian Poltéra all enjoy distinguished solo careers, but since 2007 they happily meet for one or two short touring periods per season. As Trio Zimmermann they perform in such musical centres as Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Cologne, London, Milan, Munich, Paris, Vienna and Zürich, as well as during the festivals in Salzburg and Edinburgh. For BIS Trio Zimmermann has previously recorded Mozart’s Divertimento, K 563 [BIS-1817] and Beethoven’s string trios, Op. 9 [BIS-1857] and Opp. 3 & 8 [BIS-2087]. The ensemble’s latest release combined the two string trios by Hindemith with that by Schoenberg [BIS-2207]. The discs have received critical acclaim worldwide, earning awards such as Diapason d’Or de l’Année, BBC Music Magazine Award and Jahrespreis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik as well as distinctions including The Strad Recommends (The Strad), CD des Monats (Fono Forum), Empfohlen (klassik.com), Supersonic (Pizzicato), Choc (Classica), ‘10’ (klassik-heute.de), ‘ffff’ (Télérama) and 10/10 (ClassicsToday.com).
