Google Alerts are a wonderful thing. I have ones set up for “cello” and “cellist,” among others (which is why I’m aware of the countless articles about the non-existence of “cello scrotum,” mentioned in my previous post). Today’s “cello” alert brought this article about cellist Kristina Reiko Cooper, who has what I would call a post-classical career (i.e., one that includes but isn’t limited to traditional classical music). Her website is terrific, with lots of audio and video clips, and some great photos, including this one.
