"The opening cadenza is exposed and virtuosic; the second movement has intricately rhythmic, Shostakovich-inspired counterpoint. However, the real challenge for Sol Gabetta lies in the simple chorale in D minor at the end, where she must not only play but sing after an extensive performance. She describes the moment as needing to be open and inviting, creating a startling yet organic blend of her voice with the cello, representing a metaphorical rebirth within the music."
