Grammy Award Nomination 2017 - Best Classical Instrumental Solo

"John Storgårds inspires energetic playing from the Helsinki Philharmonic…once into the fray Tetzlaff draws on an exceptionally wide range of colours and nuances…individual but utterly persuasive…excellent, full-bodied sound." (Gramophone Editor's Choice March 2016)

"[Tetzlaff is] the kind of musician who gets under the skin of a piece and gives what the music needs, rather than applying his own house style no matter what. His performance of Dvořák's Concerto in A minor is glorious and questioning... But the real brilliance is in the vulnerability and tenderness he reveals in quiet melodies." (The Guradian)

"The lean, lithe performance of the Dvorák finds a perfect counterpart in Suk's Fantasy in G minor. This concerto-length, single-movement masterpiece hardly ever gets played by non-Czech violinists, and Tetzlaff deserves kudos for taking it on (never mind doing it so well). Only the fact that it's not called a "concerto" keeps it out of the international repertoire, and perhaps this vibrant account will serve as a welcome corrective. Dvorak's lovely Romance in F minor rounds out the program as a poetic encore, and it's beautifully engineered. First class, all the way." 10/10 ClassicsToday March 2016
