Thank you so much for posting this lovely tribute on youtube.Rostropovitch has always been my absolute hero.I was amazed when I heard him at his prime in London a few times when I was a cello student in London. His playing truly gripped everybody. The audiences went crazy.He was a genuine genius with such amazing ability.He will always be remembered.He was also so kind towards others with charities.

I am appreciating your valuable comments. True, he was a musical genius with tremendous passion for music who found the soul of music. He will be remembered for ever.

@DomenicoMilone Oh I read your comment again and saw that you said concert and not concerto. Sorry about that. lol

[AQS2014]

@DomenicoMilone That's the fourth movement Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto in E-Flat Major. Videos of Rostropovich playing the whole concerto are on YouTube. Here's the first /watch?v=gcnAsv4YUn4

@99Mandalore You are incorrect, Rostropovich was a Christian

He was Jewish if I'm correct, but thank God, for as it says in the Bible "Salvation comes from the Jews"

Thanks for posting. R.I.P Slava

@aamish911

Sorry, I meant that Ma considers MLR as a rival. Overwhelming # of accounts that suggest Slava was more generous/professional to other musicians.

@100nemesis100

I'm familiar with Perlman's genuine praise of musicians such as Oistrakh, Heifetz and others. But it's not the same at all like this broadcast. To compare Perlman with a shallow person like Ma is irrelevant. Ma's resentment of MLR is totally obvious here and well known if you look at comments he made after 4/27/2007.
