"Recommended: With Zimmermann we have music not only of our time but also of all time; music which we might call modern but which is now fifty years old, and music, which blatantly quotes old masters. Taking Phototopsis ... we can hear Jazz rhythms, ... chaotic horrors from Beethoven's 9th Symphony ... Parsifal, the Nutcracker and possibly La Mer ... In the Die Soldaten Symphony, notably in the wild Prelude to Act II, we hear Bach again ... The Violin Concerto is less well known, and although from early in Zimmermann's career is still a tough nut to crack for the listener and certainly for the performers ... The performance is superb; Leila Josefowicz is an outstanding champion of contemporary music ... This is an outstanding release, not just the extraordinary music but also the performances".
