Concert review, Tonhalle Zurich, 2016-12-13: Trio Zimmermann playing Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, arranged for string trio by Dmitry Sitkovetsky (*1954)

(…) It was a fascinating concert experience, and a strong, very convincing, compelling interpretation, both on the part of the conductor as well as the orchestra!
