Performance *****      Recording *****

“… Brother-and-sister team Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff are ideal soloists, and they’re splendidly supported by the Deutsches Symphonic Orchester under Paavo Järvi…”

Editor’s Choice – Orchestral Section

“… Terrific disc, and the best kind of tribute from three exceptional musicians to one of their own.”

International Classical Music Award 2024 Nomination in the Concertos category

“… Few albums in recent memory guide the listener on such a satisfyingly emotional journey. Ondine’s engineering is exemplary, capturing just enough room ambiance to warm the sound without sacrificing clarity, with natural (never spotlighted) integration of the soloists in the overall sound – strongly recommended.”

“… This very beautiful album benefits from the emotional investment of the musicians of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, who share the commitment of the soloists and that of the other friend of the deceased, Paavo Järvi. This provides frank and generous leadership, commensurate with the circumstances.”
