Sol Gabetta established herself as one of the most promising cellists to emerge in the first part of the 21st century. She has a substantial international career as a soloist and with a growing number of recordings. While she has drawn the most attention for her performances of the standard concerto and chamber music repertoire, she has also championed contemporary works by composers as diverse as Takemitsu, Ligeti, and Vasks. In 2005, Gabetta began teaching at the Musikhochschule in Basel, Switzerland, and in 2006 founded the Solsberg Festival. She has earned Grammy nominations for her recording of concertos by Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns, and Ginastera in 2007, and in 2013 for the album Duo, with Hélène Grimaud. Gabetta issued a recording of Schumann's works in 2018 and was featured on Patricia Kopatchinskaja's album Plaisirs Illuminés: Veress, Ginastera, Coll in 2021.
