    I had a quartet teacher, who went to one of Yo-Yo Ma's performances. She said that someone's cell phone rang, and everyone was like *inhale*. Then Yo-Yo Ma played the note the cell phone rang at, and literally made a piece based on that note.

    Story about learning Shostakovich cello concerto no.1 in 2 days:
    Shostakovich and Rostropovich were close friends, Shostakovich was even a professor in conservatory, where Slava studied. One day Slava read news that Shostakovich wrote a concerto for cello. Rostropovich was really upset 'cause Shostakovich didn't tell him first. Slava even thought that he found a new cellist. But after couple of days, Shostakovich invited Slava to his house to present him his new concerto. Shostakovich sat next to piano and played the concerto for Rostropovich and then asked if he liked it. Slava lost his voice for a minute and then answered that it was amazing. Shostakovich asked him to perform it. Slava once said: "I have never practiced over a 10 hours a day but when I got the score of this concerto I practiced more then 10 hours every day to learn it.

      The story goes on... They played it together for the first time (with Schosta on the piano) and then celebrated with vodka. They played it a second time through and had vodka again. By the third time, Slava was playing Saint-Saens Cello Concerto and Schosta was playing (once again) his own concerto.

    In the early 1970s we attended a Milwaukee Symphony concert. Mr. Rostropovich was booked to play a cello concerto.

The student came out and was introduced. It was Yo Yo Ma. OMG, it was incredible. We were in the front row center. What a thrill that was.

    My late step-father was designated the official guide of Mstislav Rostropovich while he visited Puerto Rico in, I believe, 1970. He came to Puerto Rico under the auspices of the University of Puerto Rico where my step father was director of finance. Unfortunately I could not go to the concerts because I was in the Army in Southeast Asia at the time. My stepfather talked for years about the experience. I also got to meet famed cellist Gregor Piatigorsky who was a patron of a chess tournament in which I participated. Thanks for the video I think I'll go and listen to some Haydn now.

    Every cellist I know would agree that Yo-Yo Ma is the best. No arguments from anyone. I went to an open rehearsal at the NY Philharmonic years ago with a friend. In the middle of the rehearsal, Ma practiced a Haydn concerto that he was going to play in that week's concerts. My friend and I left after it and sat in the nearby park for about half an hour. We couldn't stand the thought of any other music diluting that performance.

    OH YES! Thank you for this wonderful programme. I studied cello for a few years and completely immersed myself in cello music-- solo, sonata, concerto, all kinds of chamber music, orchestral music with solos for cello, etc. (Unfortunately I had to sell my cello to cover medical expenses, and that was heartbreaking. I will never be able to afford a cello like that again.) Excellent repertoire in this survey of great cellists! There are a lot of other spectacular cellists, as you would expect. You might want to look at the duet for unaccompanied cello and violin by Kodály.
    Here is the story about Rostropovich's rapid learning of a great work:
    BBC Proms - Dmitri Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No 1 in E flat major
    The concerto was composed in 1959 for Mstislav Rostropovich, who committed it to memory and gave the premiere four days later. Cellists consider it to be one of the most difficult works to play in the orchestral repertoire.
