Thomas Zehetmair's insight into Robert Schumann's music and his capacity to illuminate its emotional center were very much in evidence when he recorded Schumann string quartets with the Zehetmair Quartet for an ECM New Series disc which collected numerous prizes, including the Edison Award, the Gramophone Recording of the Year Award, the Diapason d'or de l'année, and the Prix Caecilia. As with the chamber music, so with the symphonic works. On this recording, made at Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in February 2014, Zehetmair does double duty as both soloist and conductor, leading the Orchestre de chambre de Paris in compelling performances of Schumann's Violin Concerto and the Phantasy for Violin and Orchestra, as well as the First Symphony.

    Posted At: December 5, 2019 12:00 AM

    Thomas Zehetmair was only 21 when he recorded Bach's solo violin sonatas and partitas for the first time, in 1982, for Teldec. Though he performed them using a modern violin and bow, Zehetmair was then a member of Concentus Musicus, Nikolaus Harnoncourt's pioneering period instrument orchestra, and learning how to play this music on the kind of instrument that Bach would have known. That was the starting...
