Sol Gabetta, Sir Simon Rattle, Berliner Philharmoniker - Elgar Ligeti Stravinsky Wagner

Review by Romadhoni

The album Elgar Ligeti Stravinsky Wagner by Sol Gabetta, Sir Simon Rattle, Berliner Philharmoniker is an impressive showcase of the talents of these renowned musicians. The album features a diverse range of works by four of the most influential composers of the 20th century, each interpreted with passion and precision by the performers.

Sol Gabetta's cello playing is a standout feature of the album, with her virtuosic performances on Elgar's Cello Concerto and Ligeti's Cello Concerto earning particular praise. Her ability to convey a range of emotions through her playing is truly impressive, whether it's the mournful beauty of Elgar's Adagio, or the frenzied energy of Ligeti's Allegro.

Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker provide a rich and nuanced accompaniment to Gabetta's cello, bringing out the full complexity of each composition. Their performance of Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite is a particular highlight, with its mix of classical and folk influences perfectly captured by the ensemble.

Summary by Romadhoni

Elgar Ligeti Stravinsky Wagner is a must-listen for anyone interested in classical music, and a testament to the skill and artistry of Gabetta, Rattle, and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Highly recommended.
