Mstislav Rostropovich’s life as a musician was one of incredible creative power. Profil are delighted to present 27 works on four CDs – all of them inspired by the artist and human being Mstislav Rostropovich; either once dedicated to him or premiered by him. They have been recorded on these four CDs as a lasting homage to the maestro. The live recordings are taken from the eighth Kronberg Cello Festival “in remembrance – celebrating Slava” in 2007, where friends, former students and companions of Mstislav Rostropovich gathered to honour his memory and celebrate a unique artist. "Cellist, pianist, conductor and communicator par excellence, Mstislav (‘Slava’) Rostropovich remains a powerful presence on the international music scene." Gramophone “These recordings were all captured live at the Kronberg Cello Festival in 2007, the year of Mstislav Rostropovich's death, and the pieces were either written for him, premiered by him or… composed in his memory. The line-up includes some very distinguished names, and even the less familiar throw themselves into the celebration with commitment and fervour.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 **** | | | (also available to download from $25.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
