“Pungent, shapely, and to-the-point, Cafe Zimmermann give gutsy accounts of popular concertos.” --BBC Music Magazine, January 2014 ****
“Cafe Zimmermann are somewhat gentler with them than those who adopt the drivingly projected style popular these days. In this they make a pleasant change, though some listeners may think they lack spark in certain places.” --Gramophone Magazine, March 2014
Having attracted attention in particular for the energy and boldness in its approach to the works of J. S. Bach (Bach’s complete works for instrumental ensemble on Alpha), Café Zimmermann is now exploring the repertoire of the Red Priest, beginning with Estro Armonico, one of the most emblematic masterpieces of the Baroque repertoire.
The great clarity of the ensemble’s interpretations as much as the quality of its instruments (including a quartet by the Italian instrument maker Guadagnini), and Pablo Valetti’s fiery virtuosity are present to make us rediscover this masterful work.
