Elgar: Cello Concerto (with works by Dvorak & Respighi)

"The recording ambience in the Danish Radio Concert Hall is close, plush, swimming in reverberation...Gabetta's ample-breathed phrasings and graceful fingering increase the recording's warmth farther still as she steers the work toward a celebration of song." The Times, 18th June 2010 ***

"Sol Gabetta's Elgar Concerto is one of the best around, a heartfelt, tonally rounded performance, intimate and wholly at one with Mario Venzago's generally subtle handling of the orchestral score...Hers is a softly spoken presence, especially beautiful in those infinitely sad modulations that fall towards the end of the piece." Gramophone Magazine Editor's Choice October 2010

"Gabetta's technique is breathtakingly good throughout - dead in tune, even in the trickiest passages - and her phrasing is equally magnificent: this is very fine cello playing, placed entirely at the service of this immortal masterpiece...the result is a fully integrated account such as we do not always hear on disc. I urge all Elgarians to hear this" International Record Review, October 2010
