Rostropovich: The Musical Conscience

This fascinating film brings us close to one of the 20th-century's towering musical personalities: the great cellist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich. Focused on his 80th birthday in March 2007, and featuring one of the last interview he gave – as well as extensive interviews with other musicians and cultural figures who knew and worked with him – it offers unique insights into a truly remarkable life lived to the very full.
