Interview
Tabea Zimmermann in conversation with Helge Grünewald Bartók’s Viola Concerto with Tabea Zimmermann and Semyon Bychkov
Béla Bartók’s virtuoso Viola Concerto makes a strong case for an often underrated instrument – especially when it is performed by the internationally acclaimed violist Tabea Zimmermann. “She plays the concerto with a tender cantabile as if it were by Mozart,” as one critic wrote. Conductor Semyon Bychkov also presents Ravel’s delicate Tombeau de Couperin and Brahms’ sunlit Second Symphony.
