Product-Information:

The mercurial partnership of Angela Hewitt and Daniel Müller-Schott brought »overwhelming intensity and emotional gravitas« to a first disc of Beethoven's cello sonatas. Here in a second volume they present two more of these ground-breaking masterpieces, together with the composer's homages to Mozart and Handel—works which are equally important additions to the cello repertoire.

Hewitt's characteristic digital dexterity and deep understanding of the classical style and Müller-Schott's vibrant playing combine to create performances of great energy and sensitivity that will delight their many fans.

In a fascinating booklet note, Daniel Müller-Schott explores the evolution of Beethoven's works for cello from a musician's perspective, describing their revolutionary power and demonstrating the composer's multifarious imagination [ »Mannigfachphantastische« ].

Rezensionen

»Absorbing interpretations, where the two players instinctively click and the music comes across with vibrancy, sensitivity and a galvanising unanimity of purpose« (The Daily Telegraph)

»Müller-Schott is certianly one of the finest cellists before the public today, and this is his core native repertory. The performances have the winning freshness of rediscovery« (The Sunday Times)

»Once again Müller-Schott and Hewitt deliver strong and committed performances characterised by great attention to detail and wonderful musical interaction. The three sets of variations are projected with charm, elegance and virtuosity« (BBC Music Magazine)

»These performances are strongly characterised, clearly etched and full of life and drama. The account of the D major Sonata's great, sombre Adagio is powerfully eloquent … with Müller-Schott demonstrating a breathtaking control of subtle changes in tone and dynamic level« (Gramophone)

Reviews

N. Hornig in FonoForum 01/11: »Die Interpretation strahlt eine Harmonie des Zusammenspiels aus. Hier stimmen die Proportionen, dieser Beethoven klingt markant, aber immer kultiviert und tonschön. Es mag schroffere, extremere Darstellungen des Sonatenzyklus geben. Hewitt und Müller-Schott setzen dem eine fein zeichnende, gebildete Ästhetik entgegen. Ein in sich stimmiges Konzept.«
