A few days ago I spotted an old biography of Mstislav Rostropovich in the window of Foyles and yesterday, on a whim, I decided to check Wikipedia to see if he was still alive.I was surprised to discover that he still was, but as it turned out, he very soon wouldn't be.
I only saw him play live once, at the Barbican. He was performing Shostakovich's quirky jazz suites as part of a trio.
