About

Argentinian cellist Sol Gabetta (who starred in 2016’s first night of the Proms) releases this album with Sir Simon Rattle, Krzystof Urbanski and the Berlin Philharmoniker. Featuring two treasures of the cello repertoire, Gabetta places Elgar’s stunning Cello Concerto in E minor, op.85 alongside Martinů’s First Cello Concerto, H196.

Gabetta performed Elgar’s highly romantic final work, full of melancholy and emotion, on the world’s largest stage at the first night of the Proms. The Gramophone Magazine wrote, “Sol Gabetta’s Elgar Concerto is one of the best around, a heartfelt, tonally rounded performance … Hers is a softly spoken presence, especially beautiful in those infinitely sad modulations that fall towards the end of the piece”.

Sol Gabetta achieved international acclaim upon winning the Crédit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2004 and making her debut with Wiener Philharmoniker and Valery Gergiev.  Born in Argentina, Gabetta won her first competition at the age of ten, soon followed by the Natalia Gutman Award as well as commendations at Moscow's Tchaikovsky Competition and the ARD International Music Competition in Munich. A Grammy Award nominee, she received the Gramophone Young Artist of the Year Award in 2010 and the Würth-Preis of the Jeunesses Musicales in 2012.
