Info for Brahms: Double Concerto, Viotti: Violin Concerto No. 22; Dvorák: Silent Woods

This album by violinist Christian Tetzlaff and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff together with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Paavo Järvi, is dedicated in the memory of their longtime artistic partner, pianist Lars Vogt (1970–2022). At the heart of this album is Brahms, one of Lars Vogt’s favourite composers, and his late orchestral masterpiece, the Double Concerto. Brahms himself had admired one of Viotti’s violin concertos so much that he included material from the violin concerto into his work. With Christian Tetzlaff’s recording of the violin concerto, this album finally brings these two works together. Also included is Dvořák’s beautiful Silent Woods for cello and orchestra, a work by another composer that was very close to Lars Vogt’s heart.

“During the recording the feeling was that all of us were thinking of Lars all the time, the members of the orchestra too, who also valued Lars so very much. At the end there was a run-through with an audience. It was truly something like a memorial ceremony. It was the moment to say: Now we’re playing for you, Lars, and perhaps you’re listening from somewhere. We’re thinking of you, and we’re giving you this and want to preserve your memory with it. Friendship and love could really be felt in that place.” (Tanja Tetzlaff)
