DEAN

The Lost Art of Letter Writing etc Frank Peter Zimmermann (violin); Sydney Symphony/jonathan Nott

BIS BIS-2016 86:22 mins

‘The first movement of Dean’s Violin Concerto is inspired by Brahms’s desperate loveletter to Clara Schumann. It ends poignantly with the soloist (the excellent Zimmermann) winding anguished lines around quizzical comments by Brahms’s clarinets.’ February 2014
