OTHMAR MÜLLER, Cello
was born in 1963 and studied in Vienna and the US.
As a founding member of the Artis-Quartet, he appears regularly at important music-venues around the world and has played an annual concert-series at the Musikverein in Vienna since 1988. The quartet recorded more than 30 CDs, of which many received prestigious awards like “Grand Prix du Disque”, “Prix Caecilia”, “Diapason d'Or”, “Wiener Flötenuhr”, “Echo Klassik” and “MIDEM Award”.
Othmar Müller served as Professor for chamber music at the Music University Graz. Currently he teaches Cello at the Joseph-Haydn-Conservatory Eisenstadt. Masterclasses in the USA, Hong Kong, Austria and at the Casals-Festival Prades are an equally important part of his work.
During recent years he performs more frequently solo concertos and recitals (e.g. the posthumous premiere of Gottfried von Einem's „Music for Cello solo“ and the premiere of the Cello concerto by Herwig Reiter at the Berlin Konzerthaus).
In October 2006 he premiered at the Brahmssaal of the Wiener Musikverein the "Three Pieces for Cello and Piano" by Alexander Zemlinsky and his Cello Sonata, a piece which had been lost for 112 years. In 2008 his recording of these works was issued on the NAXOS label. Othmar Müller's most recent recording comprises the Haydn Cello Concertos as well as Sonatas by Webern, Weigl and Johanna Müller-Hermann on the CAMERATA label.
Othmar Müller plays a Violoncello by Andrea Amati, Cremona 1573 from the collection of the Austrian National Bank.
