Viva Casals!

Sayings, stories and impressions of Pablo Casals

About this book

Not just a brilliant virtuoso player but a revolutionary force, Pablo Casals fundamentally redefined the art of playing the cello with his innovative approach and technique. Recognised in his own time as a performer without equal, his influence continues to touch musicians all over the world to this day.

Yet Casals was also a man who resolutely stood up for fairness and peace, using his international fame to protest against injustice and fascism, earning him the respect of world leaders from the President of the United States to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth, Viva Casals! draws on his own words and the recollections of others to bring to life his wit, wisdom, idealism and faith in humanity. Edited by Julian Lloyd Webber, one of the most creative musicians of his generation, this is a vivid portrait of a rare genius.
