Sol Gabetta - Cello (2016)

Sol Gabetta is an exceptional young cellist, and this is an exceptional compilation of the work she has done in the recording studio so far in her short career. In addition to Elgar's evergreen Cello Concerto, here are also some Elgar salon works, and a couple of really worthwhile short pieces by Dvorak: Silent Woods and the Rondo. The second album is mainly given over to short encore pieces such as, inevitably, Saint-Saens's The Swan , and less obviously, Pablo Casals's beautiful reworking of a Catalan folk song, The Song of the Birds . Truly exceptional, and no cello lover should miss this.
