As a string duo, they are in a class of their own: More than merely performing together in perfect harmony, Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Sol Gabetta spurn each other on to produce a musical firework at each and every performance.

As a string duo, they are in a class of their own: More than merely performing together in perfect harmony, Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Sol Gabetta spurn each other on to produce a musical firework at each and every performance.

They have affectionately named their 2022 album Sol & Pat. Released by Alpha Classics, it crowns their more than 20 years of friendship and fruitful collaboration. “We are like two sisters, both on stage and in life,” Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Sol Gabetta agree. In addition to their extraordinarily successful solo careers, they have repeatedly collaborated on projects together.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja, her imagination and rebellious belligerence transforming each performance into an adventure, and Sol Gabetta, master of powerful sound and delicate nuances, make for a string duo unlike any other. Watch the sparks fly when the Moldovan violinist and the Argentinian-born cellist meet on stage, igniting each others’ passion and verve.
