About

Sol Gabetta is the most famous and bestselling female cellist worldwide. Her brilliant and emotional playing, great stage presence and charming nature made her a real star of today's classical music scene. Her CDs '"Il progetto Vivaldi 1+2' were her most successful albums.

For 'Il progetto Vivaldi 3' she again teamed up with her baroque music ensemble Cappella Gabetta, founded by her and her brother Andrés Gabetta who is the concertmaster of this ensemble.

For this new CD, Sol and the Cappella Gabetta recorded three beautiful cello concertos by Antonio Vivaldi in addition to breathtaking baroque cello concertos which have been rarely recorded and heard before. The cello concerto by Fortunato Chelleri (1690-1757) is a world premiere recording. The cello concertos by Giovanni B Platti (1697-1763), Andrea Teodoro Zani (1696-1757) and Fortunato Chelleri (1690-1757) were, until recently, hidden in an archive in a castle near Wuerzburg in Bavaria/Germany. All these works were commissioned by the duke of Schloss Wiesentheid, who played cello himself and hired these Italian composers.

Sol used two different cellos to play this splendid baroque music: her Guadagini cello from 1759 (with gut strings) and her Gagliano from 1781.
