Gabetta’s cello, Elgar’s notes, Rattle’s baton. These ingredients form the perfect combination in this lively reading of the composer’s overwhelmingly powerful concerto. Gabetta handles Elgar’s hefty solo lines with poise and authority, while Rattle blends and transforms the orchestral elements as a skilled chef would ingredients.
