LISE CHRISTIANI); SONATA FOR CELLO AND PIANO NO 2 IN D MAJOR, OP. 58 Daniel Müller-Schott, cello; Jonathan Gilad, piano The playful virtuosity of the Variations, modeled after Mozart and Beethoven, inspires the duo to equally virtuosic brilliance, be it in the passionate eruptions in the seventh variation or the superb, subtle coda as it fades away. The First Cello Sonata is also light and airy, and the Müller-Schott/Gilad Duo savors to the full its prevailingly cheerful, merry mood. The grace and passion that Mendelssohn‘s contemporaries already admired in him are here to be found throughout. In the Second Sonata, we find the most beautiful lyricism alongside moments of drama and sound colours that seem not so far removed from the world of Mendelssohn‘s Midsummer Night‘s Dream. On Bei der Aufnahme, Müller-Schott and Gilad here pull out all the stops.
