"Tortelier would be a great screen personality if he could not play a note ... of course his magnetism and his artistry are inextricably mixed." This tribute from The Daily
Telegraph is richly borne out in the final programme of this series, shown to commemorate the great French cellist who died in December 1990.
Paul Tortelier coaches two young musicians in Debussy's Sonata in D minor. He then works with two more on his own cello Sonata Breve- a portrait of Alexander the Great's legendary horse Bucephalus - which he dedicated to Prince Charles
"because he played the cello and likes horses very much". Producer Rodney Greenberg
