A champion of new music, he premiered over 100 pieces, collaborating with composers like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, and Britten. Rostropovich also made a mark as a conductor, debuting in 1962, and was recognized for his humanitarian efforts, receiving an International League of Human Rights medal in 1974. His iconic recording of the complete Bach Cello Suites was released in 1995, and he passed away in April 2007 shortly after celebrating his 80th birthday.
