Message from Mischa:

As some of you might have heard, I recently suffered a severe infection of the spinal cord, leaving me almost paralysed. A week ago I underwent successful surgery, and now must go through a long and difficult rehabilitation.
I feel optimistic and hope very much to return to full strength in the not too distant future.

        Has it occurred to you and all the up-voters that Lucas may not be a native English speaker, and that what he means is “May you recover, and remain healthy for a long time”?

    • Margot Cerri says:

      Your mental recovery obviously is a hopeless case !

    If I could take only one cello sonata to my desert island, it would be this one…
