[email protected] www.artisticmanagement.eu Sol Gabetta Cellist and artistic director of the festival Solsberg „Her tone is fascinating, full of energy and drive. Nothing about her play is fortituous, and she doesn‘t want it to be. Thus she creates ecstatic moments. Her phrases are full of po- etry, strength and clarity, brought about by a sound ideal that seeks not only beauty, but also life.“ Frankfurter Rundschau, October 2008. Wherever the Argentine-French cellist of Russian origin Sol Gabetta plays, she impresses with her captivating interpretations, her passionate, full-bodied play and her charismatic, conquering personality. Her great versatility regarding styles and repertoire distinguishes her artistic profile. She can grip audiences through her musical speech with an excellent 2nd cello concert by Shostakovich from 1969, as well as with Vivaldi’s cello concerts from the early 18th century, played on a baroque cello. Her performances can be enjoyed in concerts with great symphony orchestras, chamber orchestras or baroque ensembles as well as in her own recitals with renowned pianists and chamber musicians. She completes her traditional solo repertoire, composed by pieces by Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Elgar and Haydn, with pieces from the 20th century such as Bohuslav Marti- nu’s or Samuel Barber’s cello concerts; new pieces she learned and introduced to her re- pertoire in 2009 and 2010. Sol Gabetta is often sollicited to work with composers who write pieces for her, or whose pieces she learns and plays.
