Daniel Müller-Schott's new disc of \"Showa-era Cello Sonatas\" features three cello sonatas from the 20th century. Although the composers are all historical figures, Shostakovich was born in 1934, Prokofiev in 1949, and Britten in 1961, making this a \"Showa-era\" cello sonata collection, as the Japanese say. Müller-Schott's confidence is evident in the fact that Rostropovich left behind the definitive masterpieces by Shostakovich and Britten with the composer himself, and by Prokofiev with Richter at the piano. From the Prokofiev sonata, which begins with the cello's lowest register that suddenly sinks into the pit of one's stomach, one is drawn to Müller-Schott's pitch-accurate and steady playing. Müller-Schott's sincerity is evident in her calm acceptance of the pointed irony of early Shostakovich, which is refreshing.The somewhat unrealistic Britten is also convincing, with each note carefully spun. The technique of sustaining the weak notes is astonishing. Also worthy of special mention is Piemontage's piano playing. With his sharp technique, he led the Müller-Schott to the finale of Shostakovich and other pieces. All of these works make us realize how eloquently the piano part was written.
