Rostropovich at cancer clinic
Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich is being treated at a Moscow clinic specializing in cancer treatment, two Russian newspapers reported Thursday.
The Russian daily Komsomolskaya Pravda, citing unidentified hospital officials, reported that his condition “is very worrying for doctors. Only the closest people are now being allowed to the great musician.”
Rostropovich, 79, was hospitalized for unspecified reasons last week in Paris, where he maintains a residence, and later returned to Moscow, according to his managers in New York.
