Tabea Zimmermann

Music for solo viola by J. S. Bach and Max Reger

I “discovered” a new viola player today! I had not heard of Tabea Zimmermann before. My great loss… but I am making up for lost time!

“Tabea Zimmermann is one of the greatest players of our time (on any instrument).”
— The Observer

http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Zimmermann-Tabea.htm
“In every single bar of the recording, Tabea Zimmermann convinces the listener with her polished and naturally-agravic interpretation. Every phrase is filled with meaning and opens or closes a musical flow. Discipline and freedom, dancelike rhythm and improvisatory gesture seem to balance themselves effortlessly.”
— Bayern 4 Radio (Germany)
