About Christian Tetzlaff

Hometown

Hamburg, Germany

Born

1966

Genre

Classical

Violinist Christian Tetzlaff is widely admired for his command of a repertory ranging from Bach to contemporary music. He began to draw international attention in 1988 when his performances of Schoenberg's Violin Concerto, Op. 36, with the Cleveland Orchestra and the Munich Philharmonic, drew wide acclaim for their precise playing and for an unsentimental style that he has continued to cultivate. He often plays chamber music as well with his sister Tanja Tetzlaff in the Tetzlaff Quartet; he has also partnered in duo repertory with such artists as pianists Leif-Ove Andsnes and Christoph Eschenbach, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. He issued a recording of the Beethoven and Sibelius violin concertos in 2019. In 2025, he was heard with the Finnish Radio Symphony in the rarely recorded Two Serenades, Op. 69, and Two Serious Melodies, Op. 77, of Sibelius.

Christian Tetzlaff has also released music as a member of Tetzlaff Quartett.
