Instrumental Revolutionaries
With Richard Baker.
This week, profiles of five performers who revolutionised attitudes to their chosen instrument among performers and audiences of their own and subsequent generations. Pablo Casals was born in Catalonia in 1876. By the age of 14, he was giving recitals, with pride of place given to the music of Bach, whose cello suites he rescued from almost complete neglect. Casals went on to become an all-round musician and a tireless campaigner for humanitarian causes. Including cello works by Bach, Beethoven and Dvorak, plus two pieces by Casals himself. Producer Piers Burton-Page
