The Cleveland Orchestra (Blossom Festival)

“The high point, no doubt, was Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme, as performed by German cellist Daniel Muller-Schott, in his Cleveland Orchestra debut… Rarely does an artist captivate so quickly… Let’s just hope the pause between this and his next appearance isn’t long.”

PLAIN DEALER

Boston Symphony Orchestra

“The magnetic young German cellist Daniel Mueller-Schott administered a dose of adrenaline with a compelling performance of Haydn’s Concerto in C. Mr. Mueller-Schott, a fearless player with technique to burn, made child’s play of the work’s difficulties. But even more impressive were his gorgeous, plush tone and his meticulous attention to expression…”

NEW YORK TIMES

Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

“Soloist Daniel Müller-Schott gave [Haydn’s First Cello Concerto] a muscular reading, yet exhibited fast, fluid fingerings on ornamental passages that sounded straight out of Handel and J.S. Bach. His second movement cadenza was as dreamy as a Bach air, but the brisk finale was all Haydn, bouncing and bounding with delight.”

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

“…Mueller-Schott was clearly the poet, playing so soulfully he added new depths to Dvorak’s [cello concerto]…”

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CD Review: Shostakovich Cello Concerti 

“Daniel Mueller-Schott is a wonderful musician…I know of no other versions of these concertos played or recorded with such polish.”

THE TIMES (London)

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

“The brilliant young cello virtuoso Daniel Mueller-Schott brought to life every twist and detail of the Cello Concerto No. 1 by Saint-Saens with sparkling clarity…His seemingly effortless mastery of instrument and music was a joy to behold.”

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg

“...Quite simply, he masters his instrument so superbly that even when playing the most difficult passages in high thumb positions, he coaxes sounds of tender smoothness and exquisite sonority from the strings. It may be true that the [Schumann Cello Concerto] can also be played differently. But more beautifully? That is hard to imagine...”
