On this recording, violinist Christian Tetzlaff performs Béla Bartók’s (1881–1945) two masterpieces in a new recording with Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hannu Lintu.
Christian Tetzlaff is considered one of the world’s leading international violinists and maintains a most extensive performing schedule. Musical America named him ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ in 2005 and his recording of the violin concertos by Mendelssohn and Schumann, released in 2011 received the ‘Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik’.
Recordings by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Hannu Lintu have gathered excellent reviews in the international press. Their most recent release with orchestral works and songs by Jean Sibelius won an ICMA Award in January 2018. The same album was also Editor’s Choice in Gramophone Magazine and Orchestral Choice in the BBC Music Magazine.
Here is the Concerto number 2 by Bela Bartok (be patient, it takes a while to start.)
