Market Screening: Sol & Lise

Lise Cristiani, born in the gutters of Paris, was the first cellist to dare to perform on stage in 1845. A woman with a cello! Obscene! A taboo. Until then, the instrument had only been played by men. With her Stradivarius, Lise Cristiani conquered the concert halls of Europe. On an adventurous journey, she even took her music to the farthest corner of Siberia, as Lise wrote, 'to places where no artist had ever gone before.' Sol Gabetta, virtuoso cellist of today, traced the history of her predecessor, searched for Lise's repertoire, and wanted to create her own concert. The solo cellist found herself in roles entirely new to her. Like Lise once did, she also became a dramaturge and concert presenter. Lise Cristiani's adventurous life is interwoven into the musical creation of the concert and her first performance.
