About this product

We need Bach's music, regardless of the instrument (Tabea Zimmermann) Ten years after her acclaimed album InchSoloInch with the first two cello suites of Johann Sebastian Bach, violist Tabea Zimmermann now sets her sights on Suites Nos. 3 and 4. She pairs them with excerpts from György Kurtág's cycle InchGames, Signs & MessagesInch, selecting six numbers to form her own personal homage to Bach. For what kind of instruments did Bach write his solo suites BWV 1007-1012? How did they sound, what did they look like? This subject still gives rise to much speculation. Johann Peter Kellner's manuscript copy from the early 1700s is one of the two main sources for the six solo suites, and it indicates a viola basso. The violoncello had not yet become standardized in terms of size, construction, and playing technique; Bach probably had instruments in mind such as the violoncello piccolo or the viola da spalla. The latter was a viola attached in front of the body by a strap Bach performed the viola da spalla in public himself - possibly these suites. Tabea Zimmermann has not switched her musical hardware for this recording here she plays her 1980 Vatelot viola with a classical bow. In 2009, the album InchSoloInch (MYR003) launched Tabea Zimmermann's collaboration with the myrios classics tag. The was crowned with a multitude of international awards Gramophone Editor's Choice, InchStern des MonatsInch in Fono Forum, 4f in Télérama and 5 Stars in the Italian magazine Musica; moreover, in response to that groundbreaking recording, the jury of the coveted German ECHO Klassik Prize selected Tabea Zimmermann as Inch2010 Instrumentalist of the YearInch.

Tabea Zimmermann - String Sextets   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Brahms was one of the first composers to write for pairs of violins, violas and cellos, blazing the trail for Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Korngold and Schoenberg. His two sextets are early works, composed in 1860 and 1865 respectively. Brahms wrote to his that the second was in 'the same joyful vein' as the first. Yet the composer's life was somber at this time his mother died suddenly and his romantic relationship with soprano Agathe von Siebold ended in failure; indeed, the first movement of the sextet opens with a viola motif on the notes A-G-A-D-B-E (AGADHE in German notation)... The members of the Belcea Quartet called in their friends Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras to record these peaks of the chamber repertory following a concert tour to some of Europe's major venues.
