Mstislav Rostropovich , nicknamed Slava ("glory" in Russian), is one of the world's greatest musicians, a cellist, conductor and piano accompanist. His relentless energy is combined with an enthusiasm for commissioning and performing new music: the cello repertoire alone has been enlarged by over 60 works from some of the century's greatest composers. To mark Slava's 70th birthday last month,
Sir John Drummond celebrates Rostropovich the cellist and talks to some of his many collaborators and friends, including Yo-Yo Ma, Colin Matthews , Ralph Kirshbaum , Victor and Lillian Hochhauser and Gennadi
Rozhdestvensky.

Last year the city of Jerusalem celebrated 3,000 years of history by commissioning a work from the Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. He took as his inspiration the famous gates of the City of David - including the Golden Gate, expected to open only at the coming of the Messiah. Penderecki's radiant setting of texts from the Psalms of David was given its first performance in January. Presented by Jeremy Summerly.
