The cello is one of my favorite instruments. Starker was one of the greatest cellists ever. There are a number of very interesting interviews and performances featuring him on Youtube. Highly recommended.
Janos Starker passed away 28 April
One of the 20th century's best cellists passed away on 28 April. The cello is my favorite acoustical instrument, it can be so expressive, and Mr. Starker was a wonder with it. For more details see the NY Times article:
