The concert of Sol Gabetta & Sir Simon Rattle in Baden-Baden was a remarkable musical event that combined the extraordinary talents of one of the world’s top conductors with one of the most acclaimed cellists of her generation. The concert featured two works: Dmitri Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 2 in G major, and Antonín Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor. The highlight was the Dvořák; Gabetta's rich, resonant tone was a perfect fit for the sweeping melodies and complex emotional depth.
