Synopsis by Michael Hastings

Widely considered one of the greatest cellists of all time, Mstislav Rostropovich is as much as pioneer in the field of classical music as he is a champion of humanitarian causes, in particular the fight for artistic expression in his native Russia. On this DVD release, he performs the music of Shostakovich and Prokofiev.
