Brahms: Double Concerto / Viotti: Violin Concerto No 22 / Dvorak: Silent Woods
Christian Tetzlaff (violin) Tanja Tetzlaff (cello) / Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Paavo Jarvi
[ Ondine / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 20 October 2023
This album by violinist Christian Tetzlaff and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff together with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Paavo Järvi, is dedicated in the memory of their longtime artistic partner, pianist Lars Vogt (1970-2022). At the heart of this album is Brahms, one of Lars Vogt's favourite composers, and his late orchestral masterpiece, the Double Concerto. Brahms himself had admired one of Viotti's violin concertos so much that he included material from the violin concerto into his work. With Christian Tetzlaff's recording of the violin concerto, this album finally brings these two works together. Also included is Dvořák's beautiful Silent Woods for cello and orchestra, a work by another composer that was very close to Lars Vogt's heart.
"Brother-and-sister team Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff are ideal soloists, and they're splendidly supported by the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester under Paavo Järvi." BBC Music Five Stars
"The dedication on this album reads 'In Memoriam Lars Vogt' - and that gives it a special resonance...Terrific disc, then, and the best kind of tribute from three exceptional musicians to one of their own." Gramophone Award Nomination 2024 - Concerto
