Notes
During his long and exceptionally fruitful creative life, Richard Strauss (1864–1949) composed only a few works for the cello. Only three have survived and small as that number may seem, those cello works are critical to the composer’s development. Daniel Muller-Schott sees the early Sonata for cello and piano op. 6 and the late tone poem “Don Quixote” op. 35 as marking the path that was to lead Strauss within the space of a few years from Romanticism to the Modern era in music. The cellist highlights this watershed in Strauss’s artistic development with his own transcriptions, expressly made for this album, of the Lieder “Zueignung” op. 10/1 and “Ich trage meine Minne” op. 32/1.

**** Excellent Album
Yannick Millon – Classica (France) – March 2020
“… In a superb live recording, Don Quixote is full of drama. Powerful stuff.” ****
Freya Parr - BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) – November 2019
“…We have rarely heard this work [Sonata] in such an exciting and rhetorical performance. Müller-Schott’s and Schuch’s playing is unusually free. Both musicians stimulate each other and remain permanently in a lively dialogue. The virtuoso passages sound fresh and with youthful verve, the intimate, beautiful moments of the second movement are very cantabile. In Don Quixote the musicians from Melbourne show an impressive orchestral refinement, and Andrew Davis succeeds in upgrading many passages that otherwise never become so clear. In addition, the conductor’s distinct sense of drama gives the piece an immense rhetorical power and a great inner tension. The rich colours are splendid, the nuances are enchanting, the contrasts invigorating. A highlight is the absolutely grotesque fight against the herd of sheep. But it is not only the orchestral playing that fascinates. A determining element in the wonderful, very characteristic performance is the cellist Daniel Müller-Schott, whose playing is beautifully lyric and intensive. In the violist Christopher Moore, he has an excellent and expressive partner.” *****
