ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK:
PIANO TRIOS NOS. 3 & 4 ‘DUMKY’

CHRISTIAN TETZLAFF • TANJA TETZLAFF • LARS VOGT

This fruitful collaboration by three eminent chamber musicians, Christian Tetzlaff, Tanja Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt, brings together two Piano Trios by the Czech master, Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904). During the last eight years, artists forming this unique trio have recorded eight albums of chamber music for Ondine with great acclaim, including some of the Romantic standard works. These two chamber music masterpieces by Antonín Dvořák express great emotional depth and dark passion.

Listen to an excerpt from Dvořák's Piano Trio No. 3 (1st movement):
DVOŘÁK, A.: Piano Trios Nos. 3 and 4
TRACKLIST
1 – 4 Piano Trio No. 3 in F minor, Op. 65 B. 130
5 – 10 Piano Trio No. 4 in E minor, Op. 90 ‘Dumky’ B. 166
Christian Tetzlaff, violin
Tanja Tetzlaff, cello
Lars Vogt, piano
The two piano trios by Dvořák featured in this album have remarkable similarities as well as differences. Piano Trio No. 3, nearly symphonic in its character, hints to the world of Johannes Brahms, while the Piano Trio No. 4 (‘Dumky’) includes folkloric elements. The third piano trio might not only be considered as an homage to Brahms; it was written by the composer in 1883 shortly after the death of his mother which might well explain the sorrowful musical expression in the slow movement of the work. The ‘Dumky’ trio has a very unusual structure in its six movements. This intense and intimate work was written just prior to the composer’s departure to New York in 1891 and serves as a great climax for Dvořák’s series of piano trios.

Christian Tetzlaff has been one of the most sought-after violinists and exciting musicians on the classical music scene for many years. He has an unusually extensive repertoire and gives approximately 100 concerts every year. Christian Tetzlaff served as Artist in Residence with the Berlin Philharmonic and appears regularly as a guest with such ensembles as the Vienna and New York Philharmonic Orchestras, the Concertgebouw Orchestra and London’s leading orchestras.

Christian Tetzlaff has received numerous awards for his solo CD recordings. His recording of the violin concertos by Mendelssohn and Schumann, released on Ondine in 2011 (ODE 1195-2), received the ‘Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik’. Gramophone Magazine was choosing the recording of the Schumann Violin Sonatas with Lars Vogt (ODE 1205-2) as ‘Disc of the Month’ in January 2014. In addition, in 2015 ICMA awarded Christian Tetzlaff as the ‘Artist of the Year’. His recordings on Ondine with Brahms’ Trios (ODE 1271-2D) and Violin Concertos by Dvořák and Suk (ODE 1279-5) released in 2015 and 2016 earned GRAMMY® nominations. His latest recording of Bartók’s Violin Concertos (ODE 1317-2) has won the Concerto Category Award for the Gramophone Classical Music Awards 2018.

“Truly admirable performances.”
Gramophone on Brahms’ Piano Trios (ODE 1271-2D)
“Ondine’s recording of these “live,” in-concert performances is excellent. With artists of the caliber of
Lars Vogt and Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff, there are no technical shortcomings or unexpected mishaps.”
