Daniel Müller-Schott with Konstantin Shamray

As at Monday 30 June, this concert has sold out. Please add your name to the waiting list via the ticketing link.

Daniel Müller-Schott is one of the pre-eminent cellists at work today, decreed ‘a fearless cellist with technique to burn’ (New York Times). His celebrated career began after winning the Tchaikovsky competition at age fifteen, and has seen him become a regular soloist with all the major symphony orchestras in Europe and the United States, including the Philharmonics of Berlin, London and New York. Müller-Schott’s extensive and critically acclaimed discography covers a broad and varied repertoire, and points to a commitment to working with composer contemporaries. In addition to his concerto and recital performances, Müller-Schott is a passionate chamber musician: a regular guest on the international festival circuit, he directs his own annual festival in Vevey and counts Janine Jansen, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Renaud Capuçon among his regular chamber music collaborators.

For this recital Müller-Schott is joined by Russian-Australian piano virtuoso Konstantin Shamray for a program that conveys the depth and breadth of the cello and piano repertoire. Bach’s characterful Suite No. 3 in C for solo cello is followed by a dramatic shift in gear: Shostakovich’s unexpectedly neo-classical Cello Sonata, rich with sensuous lyricism that recalls Shostakovich the young silent-film composer. By contrast, Brahms’ monumental second Sonata for cello and piano showcases the work of a mature composer at the height of his powers, and proves a fitting end to a recital that showcases Müller- Schott’s wide-ranging virtuosity.
