Which of these is a famous cellist?

Pablo Casals is considered to be one of the most famous influential cellists. A person who plays the cello is called a cellist.

Pablo Casals (1876-1973) revolutionised the cello as a solo instrument. In Fritz Kreisler's words, 'the greatest musician ever to draw a bow', he played for Queen Victoria at 22 and the American President John F Kennedy in his eighties.

His most significant legacy, aside from the cellists he inspired, was the rediscovery of the Solo Suites of JS Bach, previously dismissed as technical exercises. Casals was driven by passionate political and moral convictions, which led to his voluntary exile from his beloved Catalonia from the Spanish Civil War until the end of his life.

For 30 years he effectively silenced his instrument in protest against the West's complicity in "fascism".
