In the @taiwanphilharmonic masterclass I was teaching Britten Cello Suites yesterday in Taipei. Wonderful young players picking up that iconic repertoire, which was meant to be the modern equivalent of Bach Suites.

I was fortunate studying Britten with Mstislaw Rostropovich back in my teenage years. Slava considered Beniamin Britten as one of the most sensitive and warm human beings and musicians he met in his life. 

We are lucky to be blessed with 5 major pieces by Britten, the three Solo Suites (No.3 here!), the Cello&Piano Sonata and his monumental Cello Symphony Op. 68. I can only highly recommend every cellist and music fan to explore his music in greater depth and detail.

Casals. Just some notes. Yet a world of its own.

The great American cellist and dear friend Lynn Harrell once said, he feels that „the cello is a very social instrument.“ We can discover that on many levels. His thoughts are still resonating.

Cellist Daniel Müller-Schott on Elgar and finding meaning in every note - Internationally celebrated cellist Daniel Müller-Schott returns to the ASO this Nov to perform Elgar’s Cello Concerto. Ahead of his performances with the ASO in Symphony Series 8 – Seasons, we asked Daniel about how his relationship with music has changed over time, what makes Elgar’s Cello Concerto so resonant today, and the rituals that keep him inspired amid a life of travel.

Your career has taken you around the world and across a huge range of repertoire. Has your relationship with music changed over time – and if so, how? 

Well, it has certainly become deeper over the years. The older you get, the more you realize lifetime is limited and very precious. And in music, you are constantly forced to think about “expressing” time. Therefore, I’m sure every note counts even more than 20 years ago, and this alone makes a deeper impact for me making music today. 

Elgar’s Cello Concerto has become one of the most emotionally resonant works in the cello repertoire. What draws you to this piece, and what do you hope audiences hear in it today? 

I would wish that everyone can newly experience this masterpiece and find fulfilment, expression, melancholy, and yet comforting elements through the philosophy that Elgar conveys.

Do you approach the performance of a work like the Elgar differently in 2025 than you would have a decade ago? 

It certainly has changed, because we live in such different times now. The fragility of our times makes every piece of music even more precious and certainly this one. This is what I feel. Elgar was mourning about a time that he thought about which was being lost. The time of romanticism. And he had experienced the horrors of the First World War, which left him in deep shock and confusion. So, this piece is a reaction to this. It is in some ways a Requiem, he created his last big symphonic piece for Cello and Orchestra.
