Any cello student should consider themselves very lucky to be able to hear their pieces played by one of the greatest living cellists today. Listen carefully to the quality of sound in the pieces played by the outstanding cellist Leonid Gorokhov. this should inspire students to take up the cello and make the passing of an exam something to look forward to!
