in memoriam { Mstislav Rostropovich
Мстисла́в Леопо́льдович Ростропо́вич (Mstislav Rostropovich), one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century, has died.
As an aspiring (if amateur) cellist, his playing and recordings were an inspiration to me. His talents will be deeply missed.

I know almost nothing about classical music, though I do respect those who can play it.
I love that picture.
He gave an impromptu recital at the fall of the Berlin wall, which is where/when that photo was taken.
