The Argentine cellist and the French pianist are among the most acclaimed soloists to have emerged in the 21st century. Their artistic paths are similarly rich, featuring prestigious awards, collaborations with the world’s leading orchestras, recitals in major concert halls, and acclaimed recordings.
In their recent joint album Gabetta & Chamayou, they delivered thrilling interpretations of Felix Mendelssohn’s works for cello and piano, while also performing Songs without Words—a genre Mendelssohn himself made famous—written especially for them by imaginative contemporary composers. From this exceptional repertoire comes the core of their highly anticipated Athens recital, complemented by Johannes Brahms’s monumental Second Sonata for cello and piano, symphonic in scope.
