Born in Hamburg in 1966, Christian Tetzlaff studied at the Lübeck Conservatory with Uwe-Martin Haiberg and in Cincinnati with Walter Levin. He is internationally recognized as one of the most important violinists of his generation, renowned for his musical integrity, technical assurance and intelligent, compelling interpretations. Equally at home in the classical/romantic repertoire as in con-temporary music, Christian Tetzlaff is highly regarded for his interpretations of the violin concertos of Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky as well as Berg, Ligeti and Shostakovich. 2005 Musical America named him “Instrumentalist of the Year”.

He is a regular soloist in major series with the most important US orchestras as well as major European orchestras. He can also be seen at festivals such as the BBC Proms, Edinburgh and Lucerne Festival and all US summer festivals. He plays recitals with Leif Ove Andsnes, Alexander Lonquich and Lars Vogt and performs frequently with his string quartet. Christian Tetzlaff has received several awards for his recordings: the Diapason d’Or twice, the Edison prize, the Midem Classical Award as well as the ECHO Klassik prize and several nominations for the Grammy Awards. A new recording of Bach’s solo sonatas and partitas was released in March 2007 and a Virgin recording of the violin concertos of Brahms and Joseph Joachim followed in January 2008. He is Professor to Kronberg Academy Masters.
