Beethoven/Sibelius Violin Concertos

Christian Tetzlaff (violin) & Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Robin Ticciati

Beiden zijn wereldsterren op hun gebied, en dat is niet overdreven: Christian Tetzlaff is al vele jaren een van 's werelds meest gevraagde, uitmuntende vioolvirtuozen, en Robin Ticciati is een internationaal veelgevraagde dirigent die als nieuwe chef van het Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin al voor heel wat opschudding heeft gezorgd. Samen met het Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin en Robin Ticciati heeft Christian Tetzlaff nu twee van de belangrijkste vioolconcerten ooit opgenomen, namelijk de genrebijdragen van Ludwig van Beethoven en Jean Sibelius. Met name Christian Tetzlaff heeft in de afgelopen jaren talrijke platenprijzen ontvangen, van de ECHO Klassik tot de Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, International Classical Music Award, Gramophone Award en Grammy-nominaties.

Violist Christian Tetzlaff en dirigent Robin Ticciati in Beethoven en Sibelius: een geweldige combinatie!

Beethoven:
 Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

Sibelius:
 Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47

"Who needs another recording of the Beethoven and Sibelius violin concertos? It turns out we all do, and this is it...these performances have the lightness and rightness of touch born of long experience. That levity finds an ideal grounding in the unapologetically modern-instrument sound Robin Ticciati draws from the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, weighty yet supple."
The Guardian - 19th September 2019 *****

"Tetzlaff may at times excitedly rush his fences, but in collaboration with Robin Ticciati and his alert Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, he transforms aspects of what so many have treated as a sort of Holy Grail into a beer tankard…If Beethoven’s Concerto emerges as uncompromisingly provocative, Tetzlaff’s Sibelius also errs on the side of danger…In many respects, a real knock-out."
Gramophone Magazine - October 2019

""Little lightning bolts of superlative playing will strike you. The way Tetzlaff creates casual sparks in the Sibelius finale will put a bright smile on your face. And in Beethoven, too, there is an admirable mix of the willfully rugged and smooth, somnambulistic assuredness."
MusicWeb International - January 2020

"Such glorious playing cannot be recommended too strongly, but for me the Beethoven performance makes a greater contribution to the work’s discography. I won’t soon forget how deeply Tetzlaff moved me."
