Album of the month

Feb ’23: Schubert: Chamber Works

Artist: Lars Vogt, Christian Tetzlaff & Tanja Tetzlaff
Title: Schubert: Chamber Works
Label: Ondine

An emotive album of Schubert chamber works with a "worthy farewell" from the late Lars Vogt, with Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff.

A beautiful album from celebrated and beloved pianist Lars Vogt with violinist Christian Tetzlaff and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff. This highly emotive album was one of Vogt’s final recordings before sadly dying of cancer in September 2022 before the album was released.

This album contains Schubert: Piano Trio in E-flat major, Op. 148, D. 897 “Notturno”. Vogt said of this recording that it “Feels a little bit like everything, at least in my life, has developed toward this Trio in E flat major”, writing in the liner notes “If not much time remains, then it’s a worthy farewell… And Franz. Incomprehensible. Such expression. Such fragility, such love.”

We include Schubert: Piano Trio in E-flat major, Op. 148, D. 897 “Notturno” in our playlist Weekend Classics.
