Sonata for Violin

One of the most brilliant and inquisitive violinists of the new generation, Christian Tetzlaff commands a repertory that spans from J. S. Bach to Ligeti and beyond. Particularly impressive are his performances of the music of Bach, as proved by his memorable 2010 Cal Performances recital of the composer's complete sonatas and partitas for solo violin. "You couldn't wish for a better exponent today than the German violinist Christian Tetzlaff, with his Protean ability to take on the character of whatever work he is playing" (The Independent, London).
