Tabea Zimmermann, viola and Javier Perianes, piano

About

Considered perhaps the world’s greatest violist, Tabea Zimmermann took a very rare American recital tour this spring with Spanish pianist Javier Perianes, stopping at just a few fortunate venues. Known for enthralling, revelatory performances and recordings, the artists performed masterworks of the viola repertoire: Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Brahms’ second viola sonata, the poignant Lachrymae by Benjamin Britten, based on a song by John Dowland, and Shostakovich’s op. 147 sonata, completed a month before the composer’s death. Viola aficionados enjoyed the chance to hear Zimmermann perform two encores (included here) on the Library’s remarkable Stradivari Fulton, ex-Baird, Tuscan-Medici viola, made in 1690. This video includes excerpts from the program, including music by Rober Schumann, Brahms, and Clara Schumann.
