Christian Tetzlaff . Lars Vogt

Bartók's sonatas for violin and piano are among the most challenging and advanced works by this Hungarian composer. He wrote them for the violinist Jelly d'Arany, who was known for her passionate and fiery playing style. This is a piece of cake for the German violinist Christian Tetzlaff. 'He plays the fiendishly difficult parts as if he were the very devil himself', according to one critic. The German pianist Lars Vogt completes the harmony in the relationship. He is a deeply serious musician with temperament, intellect and technique all distributed in fine balance. The two musicians are also equal partners in Bach's 'Six sonatas for concert keyboard and solo violin'. In the Adagio section of the Fifth Sonata, the violin provides the harmonic substance, while one hand answers the other on the keyboard. There are very few artists who are skilled in being able to interpret the rmeaning in the music of Brahms' Second Violin Sonata with such deep religiousness as Christian Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt. Their playing will caress your senses, spiritually as well as intellectually.
