Daniel Schnyder: Cello Concerto • Concerto Populaire

  • “Christoph Croisé and all the other performers are dedicated to creating excellent music from a technical standpoint.” – Remy Franck, Pizzicato Magazine

  • “No doubt, this is a CD for music lovers who love something special.” – Renate Wagner, Online Merker

  • “Christoph shines in the Concerto for Cello, Percussion and String Orchestra … Throughout, Daniel’s compositions seamlessly fuse a melting pot of musical styles, including classical, jazz, Middle Eastern, African and Latin American.” – Anne Carlini, Exclusive magazine

  • “So richtig zum Zuge kommt Christoph Croisé in der großartig engagierten, 1995 für Pezzotti geschriebenen Jazz Sonata: In nur sechs Minuten blitzt hier alles gekonnt auf, was der Hörer von einer virtuosen Cellosonate erwarten darf.” – Martin Blaumeiser, Klassik-Heute

  • “Very-well-recorded CD … nicely explores Schnyder’s propensity for specific types of rhythmic, harmonic and instrumental blending and contrast …” – Mark Estren, Infodad.com

  • “… His [Croisé] involvement in this project speaks well of his creativity and his flexibility. There are not many classically trained cellists who can play music in this style with such authenticity and assurance…” – Raymond Tuttle, Fanfare

  • “Zwei Schweizer Musiker, die schon seit vielen Jahren zusammenarbeiten: Der Komponist und Saxophonist Daniel Schnyder und der Cellist Christoph Croisé. Ihr erstes gemeinsames Album ist – typisch für die Musik von Schnyder – ein lustvolles Zusammenbringen von zeitgenössischer Klassik und Jazz.” – Valerio Benz, SRF 2 Kultur

  • “The present col­lab­or­a­tion with com­poser and sax­o­phon­ist Daniel Schnyder is long stand­ing, the Con­certo for Cello, Per­cus­sion and Strings espe­cially com­mis­sioned by Croisé. Here, Latin-amer­ican pulsat­ing rhythms shake hands with exotic melis­matic lyr­ical writ­ing. Dazzling vir­tu­osic cello lines swirl, as the express­ively intense cello melody soars over the punc­tu­at­ing per­cus­sion, delivered with razor-sharp pre­ci­sion.” – ***** Jo Talbot, BBC Music Magazine (1/2026)

Rachmaninoff: Piano Trios 1 & 2 • Romances Opp. 21 & 38

  • “First-rate performance…” , Infodad recommends, (4/4*)

  • “Splendide dans une plénitude sonore remarquable.” (Michel Lorentz-Alibert), clicmusique.com

  • “… they form a trio of one piece…”, klassik-heute.com, (10/10*)

  • “there’s much to admire in the tonal beauty and variety in the strings, despite the recording, with the players blending effortlessly, and keeping the emotional tension at a high level throughout the 20-minute span.”, Martin Cotton, BBC Music Magazine (5*/5*)

  • Radio Klassik Stephansdom – CD of the day (20.9.2024) “Highly romantic and intense chamber music by Sergei Rachmaninov.”

  • Sveriges Radio

  • “Le pianiste Alexandre Panfilov, le violoniste Andrey Baranov et le violoncelliste Christoph Croisé unissent leurs sensibilités au profit d’un programme Rachmaninov empreint de l’âme mélancolique du compositeur.” – Jean-Luc Caron, Res Musica

  • Crescendo Magazine

  • Critics’ Choice of the Year 2024 – Donald Vroon, American Record Guide

  • “In the second piano trio – written in response to the death of Rachmaninov’s mentor Peter Tchaikovsky – the three artists interpret the opening movement brilliantly: with the initially stereotypical accompaniment patterns in the piano as a projection screen for the other two instruments – until all three merge in a dramatic climax.” – Bernd Wladika, Das Orchester/Schott

  • “Exquisite playing especially in the vignettes.” – Mary Nemet, Stringendo

Cover 1883.jpg

“Christoph Croisé’s tone is warm and yielding … this trio of performances by two gifted young artists makes for an immediately rewarding encounter” 

 – Gramophone

“grace, style and power” 

– Stringendo

Cover Voyage Exotique.jpg

“The standard of playing across the entire CD is impressive and at times has a Gershwinesque quality to it. Croisé displays both compositional and musical mastery in a wide range of genres.”

– Sharon Lierse, Stringendo

“In each of the recorded pieces, he [Croisé] displays his precise and virtuoso playing, offering a talkative cello, oscillating between an integrated classical field and notable memories of traditional music that permeate these early compositions…”

  • Favorite Recordings of 2019 of Classical Candor

This conductor-less release from Avie manages to capture something too often lost in recordings of the early cello concerto repertoire: fun … Croisé plays with the benevolence of an 18th-century king, spinning phrases of loving length, generous is resonance and appoggiatura … This is a recording teeming with sparkle and relentless in fizz.”

– Mark Seow, Gramophone

“an exquisite listening pleasure: the opening tutti of the C major concerto sounds slender and elegant… All technically demanding passages of the movement are handled with playful ease. Radiant in the high register, full of warmth in the lower register, we hear the cello at its best. Haydn’s C major concerto can sound so natural, so fresh!..” 

Gerhard Anders, das Orchester
