Pierre Fournier Award Winner's Concert at the Wigmore Hall: Mikhail Nemtsov

Madelaine Jones, 15th September

The memory of Pierre Fournier is one not many would dispute as anything but an inspiration to even the most well-established cellists on the scene today: the highly acclaimed cellist was, among other things, known for his supreme tone quality and musicality; he sadly passed away in 1986.
