Il progetto vivaldi 3

Description

Sol Gabetta is today the greatest cellist of her gender, active. In many countries, she is a true star. France has been discovering her for a few seasons, and her concerts in Lyon, Strasbourg, and Paris (last season with the Orchestre National de France or in duo with Bertrand Chamayou) revealed an artist with obvious and immediate charisma and phenomenal artistic commitment! One inevitably thinks of the magical charm of the late Jacqueline Dupré, to whom she is spontaneously associated. She has received a triumphant and unanimous welcome each time. Here she is, accompanied by her Ensemble Capella Gabetta, with an artistic project around Vivaldi; the program includes a world premiere with the Concerto by Fortunato Chelleri (1690-1757) that she discovered in Bavaria during her research for this record. The gesture is commendable, the initiative ambitious, and the credit clearly goes to her! One can hear her here playing a magnificent Guadagini cello from 1759 as well as a second one made in Naples in 1781 by Nicolò Gagliano.
