R. Strauss: Don Quixote, Op. 35, TrV 184 & Other Works
Richard Strauss wrote relatively little for cello, but Daniel Müller-Schott's album shows this music as charting Strauss's shift from Romanticism to Modernism. Müller-Schott plays the early Cello Sonata op. 6 with pianist Herbert Schuch, and the later tone poem Don Quixote op. 35 (with its cello part representing the protagonist) with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Sir Andrew Davis. The cellist's own transcriptions of several of Strauss's Lieder highlight this shift in compositional style.
