About
The award-winning duo ensemble formed by Christian Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt are returning to the masterworks of European chamber music with this new album that includes Ludwig van Beethoven’s (1770–1827) three violin sonatas from Op. 30. The expressive and intimate chamber music recordings by the star duo have gathered numerous awards and their previous album also received an ECHO Klassik award in 2017. Beethoven wrote his three Violin Sonatas Op. 30 in 1801 and 1802. They are relatively early works but already pointing towards the direction of Beethoven’s revolutionary 3rd Symphony, Eroica, which was completed in 1803. Although the influence of Haydn is still visible, in these sonatas Beethoven created movements in all the sonatas that are completely untypical and that had never existed before in this way. No wonder that these delightful works belong to the artists’ favorite works by the great composer.

Performance **** Recording *****
“… Christian Tetzlaff and Lars Vog t make a formidable team: technically right at the top of their game (Tetzlaff’s bow control is phenomenal), and yet at the same time always managing to convey the notion of taking risks…”
Misha Donat – BBC Music magazine – January 2022
“…This is chamber-playing at its most humane; impossible to hear without feeling a renewed love and admiration for music and performers alike.”
Richard Bratby – Gramophone magazine – December 2021
“The publicity blurb says that these relatively early but completely original sonatas belong to the artists’ favourite works by Beethoven, and it shows in every bar of beautifully judged and nuanced performances, with the Adagio middle movement of the A Major Sonata in particular drawing breathtakingly beautiful playing from Tetzlaff.”
Terry Robins – thewholenote.com – 6 December 2021
“… All in all, we have here a very astonishing interpretation, which will not please everyone because of its dogged, often harsh tonal speech, but it shows what range of emotional expression is possible in Beethoven’s music.” *****
Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 2 October 2021
