Rostropovich records the Prelude from Bach Cello Suite No.1 BWV 1007

Mstislav Rostropovich - Slava - would have turned 90 on 27 March 2017. The 27th April 2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the legendary cellist’s death. These glorious performances of possibly the most challenging and inspiring pieces in the cello repertory were recorded in the Abbey Church at Vezelay in France and released on CD in May 1995. Here, at last, was one of the true greats of the instrument finally taking on the ultimate challenge for a cellist and delivering a recording that met every expectation and more of both public and press. __________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitter: &
