Dall'oscurità alle luce - From darkness to light Sol Gabetta II

About this place

The Argentinian cellist Sol Gabetta and the French pianist Bertrand Chamayou have been artist friends for over 20 years. Their interplay has been described by the press as "congenial" and with "devoted intensity". In their new cello sonata program, music that is extraordinarily powerful for Rachmaninov meets the Nordic melancholic Grieg. Rachmaninov was a great admirer of Grieg, whose piano concerto was his favorite. His Cello Sonata was composed shortly after his 2nd Piano Concerto, which seems like a stroke of liberation after a period of severe depression and successful therapy. His cello sonata is characterized by this spirit of optimism. Grieg wrote the sonata in 1882/83 during a deep personal crisis, which was characterized by illness, a marital crisis and creative self-doubt. He dedicated the cello sonata to his brother John, who was a successful businessman and spent much of his free time with his instrument.
