LONDON 27 April 2007: It is with great sadness that EMI Classics reports today that Mstislav Rostropovich, the celebrated Russian cellist and conductor, has died, just one month after celebrating his 80th birthday and following a long illness.
"‘Slava’ Rostropovich was not only a musical colossus but a towering cultural figure and moral beacon who lived his life to the fullest and inspired millions. He is irreplaceable." said Eric Nicoli, CEO, EMI Group.
Rostropovich was one of classical music's greatest figures and a much loved member of the EMI family, revered around the world and recently honoured by President Vladimir Putin with Russia's "Order of the Fatherland, First Class". In the 1970s Rostropovich lived in exile from the then USSR (for his defence of Alexander Solzhenitsyn) and returned in 1991, when communism had collapsed.
His career as a cellist, conductor and pianist spanned 65 years, with his first recording for EMI taking place in 1956 (Nikolay Miaskovsky Cello Concerto), a relationship that was to last his whole life. His musical partners included (amongst others) his wife, the soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, violinists David Oistrakh, Maxim Vengerov and Itzhak Perlman, pianist Sviatoslav Richter and conductors Herbert von Karajan and Carlo Maria Giulini. His friendships and collaborations with many of the 20th century’s finest composers, including Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Britten, Bernstein, Messiaen, Dutilleux, Lutoslawski and Penderecki, resulted in the creation of over 240 new works - there has never been an instrumentalist who has done as much for their instrument as Rostropovich achieved. His collaboration with EMI encompassed recordings of works by, amongst many others, Beethoven, Bloch, Borodin, Brahms, Dutilleux, Dvořák, Glinka, Haydn, Khachaturian, Lutoslawski, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Saint-Saëns, Schumann, Shostakovich, Richard Strauss and Tchaikovsky.
“Rostropovich’s recorded legacy is second to none and we at EMI are immensely proud to be the custodians of these cultural treasures through which the indomitable spirit of ‘Slava’ will live forever” said Costa Pilavachi, President EMI Classics.
“The significance of Mstislav Rostropovich’s work spreads far beyond his playing of the cello: this versatile and ever-inspiring musician is a great and deep man, a profoundly creative artist, whose contribution to cultural life is immeasurably precious.”
(Dmitri Shostakovich)
“As a performer, Rostropovich commands an extraordinarily wide range; indeed, his infinite scope is one of the most astonishing aspects of his musicianship. When we hear him perform, we are in the presence of a deeply fascinating artistic personality. He opens up to us a boundless universe through playing that brims with life and glows with the richest of colours. He utterly captivates us while offering us the pleasure of contact with art at its most supreme.” (Dmitri Shostakovich)
"Everything about Rostropovich is larger than live: his music-making, his generosity, his embraces, his anger, his appetite, his enthusiasms, his work for charities.......He has left, and continues to leave, a huge imprint on the whole world." Steven Isserlis (Guardian, March 2007)
