“…This is a compelling performance [Brahms Violin Concerto] that is both committed and sincere. With instinctive command, Tetzlaff maintains a sense of nobility throughout…Tetzlaff faces the technical and emotional challenges of Berg’s score with assurance providing an outstanding account. It feels as if Tetzlaff knows the work inside out as he delves down to the deepest layers of the writing. The ominous spectre of death is evoked yet there are also sunlit glimpses of positivity. This is an emotionally affecting performance of a haunting beauty that bordering on the overwhelming. In both concertos, he is adeptly partnered by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Robin Ticciati. It really feels as if all participants are on the same page in these expertly balanced performances…”

“… The Brahms is immensely satisfying, but the real joy here is the Berg … This is a performance by someone who knows this work inside out … “

***** Coup de cœur

Exceptional Album

Performance ****      Recording *****

“.. Tetzlaff’s approach to the opening movement of the Brahms Concerto is quite free and rhapsodic … he is greatly helped throughout by the sympathetic partnership of the Berlin Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester under Robin Ticcati … In the slow movement the first oboist casts a warm glow over the music. Tetzlaff gives a sparkling account of the finale, and his rapid spiccato playing on that movement has remarkable clarity.”
