Steven Isserlis Cellist

Steven Isserlis is one of the world’s greatest cellists, both as a concerto soloist and as a chamber player. He broadcasts, writes children’s books and tweets regularly on the great composers. No Longer Mourn for Me, his new recording with the Philharmonia and Omer Weir Welber, features late works by his long-time collaborator and friend John Tavener and is released by Hyperion Records on 30 October.
