Duo Sessions: Julia Fischer & Daniel Müller-Schott

"they play [the Ravel and the Kodály] with such energy, engagement and virtuoso precision that there's never any hint of overfamiliarity; in both works, every detail of the extremely demanding string writing is carefully etched, and captured with tingling immediacy in the recording." The Guardian

"They share an easy rapport, they revel in the gypsy influences that pervade, especially, Kodaly's work...This is gritty music played with a probing intensity and a spectrum of colour, the players equal to all the challenges the composers throw at them." Sunday Times

"This CD contains what by general consent are the two greatest chamber works for violin and cello of the past century, those by Ravel and Kodály. They have appeared together before… What makes this programme special, however, is a piece that I had not heard before, Schulhoff's Duo. Julia Fischer and Daniel Müller-Schott are fully engaged in the music and their teamwork is impeccable." MusicWeb

"There's plenty to enjoy here, though Julia Fischer and Daniel Müller-Schott virtually duplicate a programme that Nigel Kennedy and Lynn Harrell put out some years ago for EMI/Warner. As so often is the case, comparisons are instructive. Choosing between the two duos is difficult but for me the presence of Schulhoff's enigmatic work on the new CD is a little too much of a draw to resist." Gramophone
