This album by violinist Christian Tetzlaff and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff—together with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Paavo Järvi—is dedicated to the memory of their longtime artistic partner, pianist Lars Vogt (1970–2022). At the heart of this album is Brahms, one of Vogt’s favorite 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 in his work. With Christian Tetzlaff’s recording of Viotti’s Violin Concerto No. 22, 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 Vogt’s heart.
