In this fascinating video, the life and legacy of the great cellist Mstislav Rostropovich is discussed by his daughter Elena and fellow cellist Steven Isserlis. The conversation is hosted by Gramophone's Editor-in-Chief James Jolly and features footage of Rostropovich in performance, as well as special memories of the man himself from two people who knew him both on and off stage. 

The interview took place at the Royal Academy of Music in London as part of an event to celebrate the launch of Warner Classics' new box-set 'Mstislav Rostropovich – Cellist of the Century'. To find out more about this box-set, visit: rostropovich2017.com
