Violinist Christian Tetzlaff dazzles in Sibelius, and Afkham and the CSO bring Schoenberg to life

[…] From the outset, Christian Tetzlaff’s smooth phrasing and tone captivated the audience, establishing the conditions for an impressive performance. He navigated the piece’s technical demands with seeming ease, delivering a performance of the first movement that was both adroit and spellbinding.

In the second movement, his emotionally distant approach provided an introspective quality that hung in the air. The final movement erupted with energy.
