Another intriguing release. Toccata seem to be on a roll...

Does anyone know whether this recording actually arrived?  A search for "Agnes Zimmermann" on Toccata's own site produces nothing.

A few soundbites for this composer [from a cello sonata] here:

Ah, on closer inspection, it's still in Toccata's "Pipeline".   (at the tail-end)

And very beautiful stuff this is too, on first hearing. And the violinist is quite superb - nice, strong tone and excellent intonation. More on the music anon.

My first reactions are also extremely positive. This is lusciously lyrical and expressive music, beautifully played. This release just shows that the lamentable Henry Cotter Nixon is an exception in Toccata's catalogue of unknowns!
