Violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, who last thrilled Festival audiences as a soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic in 2006, is joined by viola player Antoine Tamestit and cellist Christian Poltéra for the Festival debut of Trio Zimmermann. Beethoven's Opus 9 String Trios are strikingly original and, as early works, revealed his distinctive musical personality. Considered fully fledged masterpieces, they set new standards in the genre and prepared the ground for his subsequent composition of string quartets and symphonies.
