Christian Tetzlaff, renowned for his profound interpretations and technical mastery, presents a captivating album featuring two iconic violin concertos. The album opens with Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77, a work celebrated for its lyrical depth and structural brilliance. Recorded live with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin under the baton of Robin Ticciati, Tetzlaff's performance is a testament to his ability to convey the concerto's emotional range and complexity.
The second half of the album is dedicated to Alban Berg's Violin Concerto "To the Memory of an Angel," a deeply expressive and modernist work composed in 1935. This concerto, also performed live, showcases Tetzlaff's versatility and his ability to navigate the intricate and evocative language of Berg's composition.
The album, released on September 2, 2022, by Ondine, offers a total runtime of 1 hour and 2 minutes, providing a rich and immersive experience for classical music enthusiasts. Tetzlaff's nuanced playing and the orchestral support create a compelling journey through these two masterpieces, highlighting the timeless appeal of these works and the virtuosity of the artist.
