Complete description

Award-winning violinist Christian Tetzlaff continues his
highly successful series of chamber music recordings on
Ondine with a new recording of Sonatas and Partitas for
Solo Violin (BWV1001–1006) by Johann Sebastian Bach
(1685–1750).


Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas have an iconic status in the
violin repertoire. Yet, little is known about the background
of these fascinating works. Bach’s autograph manuscript
is dated in Köthen in 1720, and it is commonly considered
as the year when the cycle was completed. In his booklet
notes Christian Tetzlaff offers fascinating perspectives to
these masterpieces.


Christian Tetzlaff is considered one of the world’s leading
international violinists and maintains a most extensive
performing schedule. Musical America named him
‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ in 2005 and his recording
of the violin concertos by Mendelssohn and Schumann,
released on Ondine in 2011 (ODE 1195-2), received the
‘Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik’. He has recently
been awarded an ECHO as ’Best Instrumentalist’ for his
recording of Brahms Sonatas with Lars Vogt. In addition,
in 2015 ICMA awarded Christian Tetzlaff as the ‘Artist of
the Year’. His recordings on Ondine with Brahms’ Trios
(ODE 1271-2D) and Violin Concertos by Dvorák and Suk
(1279-5) released
