I don't know the multitracks but I listened to a couple of other mixes. They don't sound oversaturated to me. They're really closed mic'ed so you're hearing a lot of rosin and string and harmonics. That's probably both by necessity because it sounds like a live recording and by preference of the artist. There isn't a whole lot to do about that. Maybe roll off some high end? But who knows if that compromise will work or be an improvement. Do you feel like other mixers were able to deal with the sound of the cellos in a way you like? You may just have to relax and accept it and roll with it.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
