“Erik Levi is deeply impressed by the conviction and incisiveness with which cellist Daniel Müller-Schott tackles two of the greatest concertos of the past century.” (BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008)

"... this CD begins with Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1: Daniel Müller-Schott is a wonderful musician. The 32-year-old German is helped by his instrument, a Matteo Goffriller cello, circa 1700, of surpassing warmth and depth of tone..... Throughout the disc – the second, bleaker concerto of 1966 is also included – Müller-Schott manages the singular trick of keeping his cello tone rich and gorgeous without lessening the music’s ability to stab the heart. Listen to his lonely eloquence as he climbs up the first concerto’s second movement, and the eerie shiverings at its peak, when cello harmonics join hands with the celesta in an unearthly duet. The second concerto receives an equally febrile performance. ...Timpani thwacks in the second concerto have the impact of an exploding bomb. The bomb explodes, in part, because of Orfeo’s full recording, which gives soloist and the superb orchestra depth, space and rotundity. I know of no other versions of these concertos played or recorded with such polish." (Four Stars, Geoff Brown, The Times June 27, 2008)

GRAMOPHONE – Editor’s choice. Here’s a starry line-up who really know how to play chamber music. “There is something awfully exciting about seeing, or rather hearing, three leading talents of the younger generation joining forces…. An urgent, questing disc. (James Inverne, Gramophone)

….. Daniel Müller-Schott’s cello playing matches those extremes and adds an engaging lugubriousness when Mendelssohn seems to invite it, as in the opening bars of the D minor Trio. (New York Times, 23. Juli 2006, Allan Kozinn)

“This new recording is irresistible, with the three players caught in a wholly natural ambience. It’s always a good sign when you don’t want to stop playing a disc long enough to write about it.” (Harriet Smith, Gramophone)

Müller-Schott, with his radiant, self-confident cello tone, easily keeps up, shining brightly in his solo parts. When it comes to technique, for along time nothing has been impossible for Anne-Sophie Mutter. The wide range of tones which she exacts from her instrument is breathtaking, as are, often, the mannerisms of her interpretations. But for Mozart’s late trios, she has abandoned her claim to exclusive rights, and in her “Mutter” family she has looked for, and found, the ideal partners. (Eleonore Büning, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 31.01.2006)

CD C 623 041 A
Date of release: March 2004

Daniel Müller-Schott, without a doubt the most fascinating of today’s young cellists, produces a blazingly intensive tone. So direct, so totally emotional is the way in which he approaches Katchaturian that there can be no doubts about the sincerity of this tragic music. (Fono-Forum 08/04)

"More than just a showpiece for a virtuoso. Daniel Müller-Schott proofs to be a passionate embassador for Khatchaturian's Cello Concerto. Technically flawless, with brilliance and great musicality..." (WDR Klassik, Germany, March 2004)

"In Daniel Müller-Schott's hands, the in 1946 firstly performed cello concerto beseeches and burns with the right degree of Eastern tone in its soul." (Stuttgarter Zeitung, April 2004)

Luister

"Together with the orchestra, Daniel Müller-Schott puts himself into the world of Haydn's music - graceful, agile, with a feeling for the effect of surprise, the spontaneous attack, the lyrical moment. There is no restraint at all in the second of the two romances. Passion comes to the boil." (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, August 2003)

"Genuine discoveries: Beethoven's two romances for violin, which Müller-Schott presents here with his own arrangements, which means that for the first time they are available on a CD in a version arranged for cello." (CD-Tipp Bayern-4 Klassik, July 2003)
