## About this recording

Award-winning violinist Christian Tetzlaff continues his

highly successful series of chamber music recordings on

Ondine with a new recording of Sonatas and Partitas for

Solo Violin (BWV1001–1006) by Johann Sebastian Bach

(1685–1750).

Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas have an iconic status in the

violin repertoire. Yet, little is known about the background

of these fascinating works. Bach’s autograph manuscript

is dated in Köthen in 1720, and it is commonly considered

as the year when the cycle was completed. In his booklet

notes Christian Tetzlaff offers fascinating perspectives to

these masterpieces.

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 on Ondine in 2011 ([ODE 1195-2](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1195-2)), received the

‘Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik’. He has recently

been awarded an ECHO as ’Best Instrumentalist’ for his

recording of Brahms Sonatas with Lars Vogt. In addition,

in 2015 ICMA awarded Christian Tetzlaff as the ‘Artist of

the Year’. His recordings on Ondine with Brahms’ Trios

([ODE 1271-2D](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1271-2d)) and Violin Concertos by Dvorák and Suk

(1279-5) released
