Rostropovich on Bach
4/12. Russian cellist Rostropovich, newly exiled from Russia, makes his debut at the 1975 Festival with three Suites for solo cello by JS Bach.
In 1974, Russian cellist Rostropovich was exiled from Russia for his outspoken political views against the Soviet government and his support for other high-profile dissidents such as the composer Shostakovich and the writer Solzhenitsyn. This concert at St Cuthbert's Church in Edinburgh marks his appearance the following year at the 1975 Festival with three Suites for solo cello by JS Bach.
