Daniel Müller-Schott and Concerto grosso

Today at Avery Fisher Hall in New York, Daniel Müller-Schott begins his concert tour with Krzysztof Penderecki’s music. The programme of the concerts includes the Concerto grosso, which Müller-Schott has played several times, including in its American premiere with The Philadelphia Orchestra in 2008. He has strong ties with Penderecki, dating back to his student days, when Anne-Sophie Mutter brought him to the composer’s home in Krakow. The next concert will take place in Boston on 31 October. And another during the Krzysztof Penderecki Festival in November.
“There is nothing like this in the repertoire,” declares Charles Dutoit, to whom the piece is dedicated and who will conduct it with the New York Philharmonic.
The Concerto grosso and the performing musicians are the subject of an article by Peter W. Goodman in the U.S. Playbill Arts magazine.
