Catalogue # BISSACD1857

\n

For their second release on BIS the Trio Zimmermann play\nBeethoven’s String Trios Op.9 – a set of three that the composer\nhimself upon their completion described as the finest of his\nworks.

\n

With their concentrated sonority, intense drama and striking\nformal disposition, the Op.9 trios mark the highlight as well as\nthe end of Beethoven’s production for string trio before he went on\nto compose quartets instead.

\n

With each of its members enjoying distinguished solo careers,\nTrio Zimmermann is truly a world-class ensemble. Frank Peter\nZimmermann, Antoine Tamestit and Christian Poltéra first joined\nforces in 2007, and have since performed together in the most\nimportant musical centres of Europe, including the Salzburg and\nEdinburgh Festivals.

\n

The trio’s first recording, of Mozart’s Divertimento K563\n(BISSACD1817), was released in 2010 and has met with worldwide\ncritical acclaim.
