The outstanding Argentinian cellist Sol Gabetta joins forces with the French pianist Bertrand Chamayou in a lyrical and Romantic programme of Chopin, Beethoven and Mendelssohn from the Edinburgh International Festival. Chopin's friend, the cellist Franchomme, persuaded and helped him to write the Grand Duo based on tunes from Meyerbeer's opera Robert le diable. It was an unusual collaboration where Chopin devised the overall plan and piano part and Franchomme wrote the cello part. Franchomme later became the dedicatee for Chopin's only Cello Sonata.
