Mstislav Rostropovich. Love with the cello in his hands
Mstislav Leopoldovich turned his life into a fantastic legend. Their family and creative alliance with Galina Vishnevskaya, leading Soprano of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, became one of the most glorified duets in the world in his skill. His talent, the brilliant possession of the instrument, the temperamental manner of the game inspired the most outstanding composers of the twentieth century - Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Shnitka, Khachaturian, Messiana and others - to create new works.
And musical critics, and close people, and simple admirers of inexhaustible talents by M.L. Rostropovich celebrates in this person an "amazing combination of the artist, humanist and magnetically attractive personality."
