Much loved cellist dies, aged 66

RIP

The Brazilian cellist Antonio Meneses, a member of the former Beaux Arts Trio, died today of brain cancer.

He announced the diagnosis less than a month ago.

Winner of the cello section of the 1982 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, he was sought after as a soloist by the world’s great orchestras but found greater contentment palying chamber music with musicians of his choice.

 

Antonio will be sorely missed.
