Engaged by many of the world's leading orchestras, Christian Tetzlaff is also a regular guest with the major international festivals - including “artiste etoile” at the 2005 Lucerne Festival. On stage and in the studio he enjoys partnerships with the most distinguished conductors and chamber music colleagues.
Christian Tetzlaff has made a number of recordings for Virgin Classics and EMI, including the complete Bach solo sonatas and partitas, which was praised as 'an altogether breathtaking release' and honoured with the Diapason D'Or - as was his recording of Sibelius's complete works for violin and orchestra. His CD of Bartok sonatas with Leif Ove Andsnes was a 2004 Grammy Nominee, and his Brahms Violin Sonatas with Lars Vogt received an ECHO Klassik prize. He was named Instrumentalist of the Year 2005 by Musical America.
