genuine sensation when he became
the first American to win the gold
medal in cello at the international
Tchaikovsky competition in
Moscow. He learned of his award
when Russian photographers
gathered around to take his
picture. Restraining himself until
the official announcement, he said,
Tm tremendously elated. It’s a
fantastic thrill.” Thirteen years
ago—in 1965, he sought the honor
when he was only 17-years-old.
Managing director of the
Pittsburgh orchestra, Seymour L.
Rosen; who is no relative, said that
the cellist could well become the
next Rostropovich. “A lot of it has
to do with the personality of the
performer. ‘Nick’ has the kind of
personality that comes across the
footlights."
