Description:

Christian Tetzlaff, born in Germany in 1966, is a violinist of great renown, and his repertoire ranges from classical works by Bach and Brahms to modern and contemporary works by Ligeti and Shostakovich. His repertoire is wide ranging, from classical works by Bach and Brahms to modern and contemporary works by Ligeti and Shostakovich, and he is highly regarded as a "violinist who gives new life to familiar works" with his unique and sophisticated interpretations that make full use of advanced techniques. This is Tetzlaff's third recording of "Unaccompanied". This is Tetzlaff's third recording of "Unaccompanied," the first being in 1993, the second in 2005, and the third in 2016. Tetzlaff says in the commentary in the booklet that he has gained new discoveries and become somewhat closer to Bach by carefully reading the score once again for this recording.This new recording spins one beautiful tone after another with amazingly natural breathing. The exquisite pauses are truly a "dialogue with Bach," a wonderful performance that reflects Tetzlaff as he is today in 2017. The recording, which captures the natural resonance of the music, is also a must-listen. Naxos Japan
