Details

In this musical odyssey spanning three centuries, German cellist Daniel Müller-Schott and pianist Konstantin Shamray join forces for an unforgettable soul-stirring performance.

Bringing Bach’s beloved Cello Suite No.3 to life, the resonant tones of Müller-Schott’s music-making will swirl throughout the unmatched acoustics of the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall. A delicate dance between melody and harmony, this solo masterpiece for cello sets the scene before the dramatic shift to the intensity of Shostakovich’s Cello Sonata. With the turbulent energy of its era, the Sonata’s brewing tension and passionate outbursts perfectly showcase the compelling artistry of these two great performers.

Finally, the luscious intimacy of Brahm’s Sonata for Cello and Piano No.2 draws audiences into a world of warmth and nostalgia, with the connection between instruments, and players, taking centre stage.
