Daniel Müller-Schott, a renowned cellist known for his expressive performances and technical brilliance, presents "Cello Reimagined," a captivating album that reinterprets classical concertos originally composed for other instruments. Released on November 17, 2017, under the Orfeo label, this chamber music collection showcases Müller-Schott's versatility and artistry, offering a fresh perspective on timeless pieces.
The album spans a diverse range of composers, including C.P.E. Bach, Mozart, Haydn, and Bach, with arrangements tailored for cello and orchestra. Highlights include the Cello Concerto No. 3 in A Major by C.P.E. Bach, a three-movement work that demonstrates Müller-Schott's dynamic range, and the Adagio from Bach's Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042, a poignant arrangement that underscores the cello's lyrical qualities.
Müller-Schott also takes on Mozart's Flute Concerto in D Major, K. 314, and Haydn's Violin Concerto in G Major, Hob.VIIa:4, both of which are masterfully adapted for the cello. The Adagio in E Major, K. 261, another Mozart piece, is a delicate and introspective addition to the album.
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 8 minutes, "Cello Reimagined" is a testament to Müller-Schott's ability to breathe new life into classical repertoire. The album is a must-listen for fans of classical music and those eager to experience the cello in a new light.
