In the Rising Stars series, the stars of the future present themselves with personal and idiosyncratic programmes. Serbian cellist Petar Pejčić and his musical partner Nour Ayadi pay tribute to his legendary colleague Mstislav Rostropovich: For Slava!. Every piece on this programme is directly related to the visionary Russian, without whom the history of the cello would have been very different.
