 classical music - andante - slava's diamond jubilee
Mstislav Rostropovich — Slava to his friends, which means most of the world — is not only a great cellist and conductor but a great champion of human rights as well.
Yet in the West we knew him as a champion of freedom even before that momentous event when he stood side by side with Boris Yeltsin, under the threat of Soviet tanks, even as the old, repressive empire and its systems were crumbling.
Nevertheless, this was another brilliant performance, with Slava's energy powering the work ever onward to its defiant (if somewhat inflated) climax — and with the Barbican's new acoustics submitted to perhaps their sternest test yet, preserving a miraculous clarity of texture.
