Overview
Daniel Müller-Schott, star of Anne Schiltz’s critically acclaimed documentary Cello Tales, and Simon Trpceski form a duo partnership distinguished by its energy, intensity and passion.
Three great cello sonatas supply their programme, including Shostakovich’s emotionally charged Cello Sonata in D minor, composed shortly before his opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District drew withering Stalinist criticism.
