Trio Zimmermann

Each a respected international soloist in his own right, the three members of Trio Zimmermann – violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, violist Antoine Tamestit and cellist Christian Poltéra – have been credited with reinvigorating the string trio with their vigorous, commited performances matching impeccable technical precision with gripping musical insights.

Hindemith String Trio No 2
Beethoven String Trio in E flat Op 3

Following a recital in Festival 2012 acclaimed for its elegance and energy, they return with two Classical chamber masterpieces – Schubert’s lyrical, youthful String Trio in B flat, D581, and Beethoven’s early String Trio in E flat, Op 3, whose spirited stylishness looks forward to his later, stormier music. The bracing freshness of Hindemith’s Second String Trio completes the programme.
