Paul Tortelier at the BBC

Paul Tortelier at the BBC Petroc Trelawny delves into the BBC film archive for footage of one of Britain’s best-loved classical stars - charismatic French cellist Paul Tortelier, whose regular television appearances in the 1960s and 70s made him a household name. The programme includes extracts from his popular series of televised masterclasses, an early performance of Elgar’s Cello Concerto, and some intimate family music-making with his wife and children - including his son Yan Pascal.
