Overview

In this celebrated release, cellist Daniel Müller-Schott joins the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln under the direction of Jukka-Pekka Saraste to perform two masterpieces for cello and orchestra. Prokofiev’s Symphony-Concerto in E Minor, Op. 125, and Britten’s Symphony for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 68, capture the expressive power and technical mastery of 20th-century composition.

Interesting Facts

  • Historic Works: Prokofiev’s Symphony-Concerto, composed for the legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, is renowned for its demanding technical passages and emotional resonance.
  • Britten's Dedication: Britten’s Symphony for Cello and Orchestra was written for and dedicated to Rostropovich as well, reflecting Britten’s admiration for the cellist’s artistry and introducing the powerful final movement, Passacaglia, which explores themes of isolation and resilience.
  • Live Broadcast Quality: The recording captures the immediacy and vibrancy of a live performance broadcast, bringing listeners closer to the raw energy of the concert hall.
