In Vollhardt’s performance of this pensive music (Pfitzner’s cello concerto a-minor, 1888), he displayed his first rate talent with the most beautiful pure tone, and a striking flawless technique.

Die Welt

Walter-Michael Vollhardt is, indeed, a master among cellists. The perfection shown in his performances of sonatas by Valentini, Hindemith (Solo-Sonata op. 25, No 3), Debussy and Strauss was truly amazing. And the tremendously intense expressiveness of his playing with its broad gamut ranging from splendidly heroic fortissimo to pianissimo was no less remarkable.

Hamburger Abendblatt

The Sarabande from Bach´s Fifth Suite for Unaccompanied Cello and one movement from the Cello Sonata by Shostakovitch given as encores, created a most eager desire to hear more of Vollhardt´s concerts.

… the most memorable feature of last night’s concert was the outstanding playing of the cellist, Walter-Michael Vollhardt. His warm, rich tone, expansive phrasing and mature musicianship showed true artistry.
