Info : Real Name: Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich. Profile: Мстислав Леопольдович Ростропович / Mstislav Leopol’dovič Rostropovič. Russian cellist and conductor (born March 27, 1927, Baku, Azerbaijan; died April 27, 2007, Moscow, Russia). Married to the soprano Galina Vishnevskaya. Widely considered to be one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century.

In March 2017, Mstislav Rostropovich would have turned 90. To celebrate this anniversary of one of the greatest cellists of all time, Deutsche Grammophon presents a truly encyclopaedic boxset which for the first time brings together “Slava’s” complete recordings for Decca, Philips, and the Yellow Label (as cellist, pianist & conductor). Also included are his recordings for Westminster/Melodija.
Highlights include the legendary 1968 Dvořák Cello Concerto with Herbert von Karajan, no less than three versions of the Schubert String Quintet (with Taneyev, Emerson & Melos) and famed recordings he made with Martha Argerich, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Benjamin Britten, Sviatoslav Richter and Rudolf Serkin; and perhaps what was his most fulfilled musical partnership – that with his wife, the great Russian soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, whom he accompanied as both conductor (Tosca, Pique Dame) and pianist.
