Program:
DVORÁK: Serenade for Winds
BARTÓK: Violin Concerto No. 2
STRAVINSKY: Petrushka

Description:
Christian Tetzlaff's list of desert-island composers is a short one, and each composer was a pianist — not a violinist like Tetzlaff himself. Somehow, though, the music of the Hungarian pianist/composer/ethnomusicologist Bela Bartok has found pride of place in his heart, as you can hear when he plays the beautiful, brooding Violin Concerto No. 2.
