Dieter Zimmerman

[Dave2002]

I was rather taken with what I heard of the performance of Brahms' violin concerto which I heard yesterday afternoon on R3. Looking at the schedules to check that I can listen to the whole thing, I notice the soloist was Dieter Zimmerman with Herbert Blomstedt conducting the NBC orchestra. I've not heard of Dieter Zimmerman before. More information?

Was that recording a commercial one, and when was it made?

His surname is Zimmermann

[Dave2002]

His surname is Zimmermann

Thanks for the correction.

Checking further his first names now appear to be Frank Peter - and more can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Peter_Zimmermann

Did I get it wrong, or did the listings change?

Actually the listings do appear to contain an error - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03lzb87
The first piece of text mentions Frank Peter, but under the music played - Brahms - Dieter is mentioned.

PS: I've now added the extra 'n' in the thread title.
