    Who knew there are this many cellist in the world ?

  • Robert Holmén says:

    I wonder what went into the decision to perch the front dozen of the 1000 players on a 4 inch riser.

  • Robert Groen says:

    Nice for Slava, but I found the music a bit boring. I was waiting for the Flight of the Bumblebee……

    Wow, only 2 posts today, and this one is the lead? Either NL is slacking or the classical music business is really, really dead today!

    It *is* nice to give Rostro some attention. Not just one of the greatest of artists but a wonderful human being, too.

  • Steven Honigberg says:

    Some of us have forgotten but his heart and spirit were that large. Touching 1000 cellists gave him enormous pleasure. One they will never forget. I can’t imagine any other cellist doing this today and deriving such genuine pleasure in the process.

    I see to David Geringas there

  • Pamela Frame says:

    Perching the front dozen players gives the people in the back the possibility of seeing their section leaders and honors them as well.

    Thanks for this post, Mr. Lebecht.
