I listened to the Zimmermann Spring Sonata on Amazon HD at 24/96 and found the violin tone to be thin, strident bordering on screechy. As Zimmermann is playing a Strad, I think, the fault must lie with the recording. I believe I detect a resonance suggesting a poor choice of microphone. Or possibly something about the venue. I listened to two other "Springs" just to be sure.Full disclosure: I have not been a fan of BIS recording technique going back about 16 years. I know I'm in the minority but I trust my ears and my electronics.
On the other hand, and I was looking for it on account of earlier posts, I found the Maene piano sound just beautiful. Could it be too romantic a sound for a Beethoven sonata?
