J. S. BACH

 

The Violin Sonatas

 

Frank Peter Zimmerman

 

Born in 1965 in Duisburg, Germany, Frank Peter Zimmermann started playing the violin when he was 5 years old, giving his first concert with orchestra at the age of 10. Frank Peter Zimmermann’s repertoire ranges from baroque to contemporary, and he has premiered several major works, including Brett Dean’s Violin Concerto in 2007. Despite his great versatility however, Zimmermann has always been a constant follower of Johann Sebastian Bach. "I practise Bach every day," the 42-year-old violinist explains. "It is my daily bread, something which will accompany me all my life."

 

Zimmermann plays the ‘Lady Inchiquin’ Stradivari of 1711, which once belonged to the great violinist Fritz Kreisler
