SONATAS FOR PIANO AND VIOLIN

Lars Vogt (piano) & Christian Tetzlaff (violin)

Ondine is verheugd om zijn eerste kamermuziekopname uit te brengen van violist Christian Tetzlaff, met pianist Lars Vogt. De selectie van deze sonates voor piano en viool door Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart demonstreert het genie van de componist en toont een breed scala aan emoties. Christian Tetzlaff wordt beschouwd als een van de allerbeste violisten ter wereld. Zijn opname van de vioolconcerten van Mendelssohn en Schumann, uitgebracht op Ondine in 2011 (ODE 1195-2) werd met veel bijval begroet. Lars Vogt werd in 2003/04 door de Berliner Philharmoniker benoemd tot de allereerste “Pianist in Residence” en geniet een hoog aanzien als solist en kamermusicus.

Mozart:
 Violin Sonata No. 32 in B flat major, K454
 Violin Sonata No. 27 in G major, K379
 Violin Sonata No. 35 in A major, K526

"Often bar-by-bar alternation between joy and sadness, beauty and regret, in mature Mozart is something to which Christam Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt are continuously alive...Tetzlaff finding a different articulation and colour for his almost every phrase...hardly 'period' performances, but these players find so much meaning in this music."
BBC Music Magazine - February 2013 ****

"This disc brings toether two musicians absolutely at the top of their game and with long experience of working together, as the easy dialogue between them amply demonstrates...It's the hyper-reactivity between the two players that is a constant delight, as witness their subtle way of varying repeats...A delight from beginning to end. Would it be too much to hope that this might be the start of a series?"
Gramophone Magazine - February 2013

"Tetzlaff and Vogt display strong character throughout yet they still evince warmth and sensitivity. The results are impeccable and dignified; teamwork and love for the music is at the heart of this. The sound quality is pleasingly clear with the piano set slightly further forward in the balance. No admirer of Mozart’s chamber music should hesitate with this Ondine release."
