Christian Tetzlaff / Kammerakademie Potsdam / Antonello Manacorda

»I don’t think it’s a symphony of destiny, but rather Beethoven shows us the way to a better world in the course of the symphony.« Antonello Manacorda and the Kammerakademie Potsdam, which has grown into an outstanding ensemble under his direction, surprised audiences with this view of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony last year when their recording caused a furore in the classical music scene. Rarely has so much fresh wind blown through what is probably the most famous sequence of notes in music history – a »Ta-da-da-daaaa« full of zest for action. In top violinist Christian Tetzlaff, the Kammerakademie Potsdam has found a brother in spirit: »He is someone who is always curious!« says the classical music column in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Undoubtedly an outstanding quality for a musician who has mastered the art of making the familiar sound new and unheard of again and again.
