Remembering Pablo Casals on his birthday 🎂

"His playing is one of those rare things that may only come once in a lifetime and even not in one person's life. It may be centuries before there is anyone like that again."

"In the Abbey de Cuxa in Prades, I spent several glorious hours with the master of the cello. Our rapport was instantaneous - he trusted me to carry his cherished instrument."

Yousuf Karsh's commentary on his 1954 photoshoot with Pablo Casals is wonderful.
Yousuf Karsh took more portraits of Pablo Casals that day, some nearly as fine as the shot from behind.
