[edit] OBE/CBE etc

Was it really a CBE? He's distinguished, but 39ish seems a little young for a CBE, especially if he didn't receive a lower distinction first, and none is mentioned. Philip 00:38, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 1959 or 1958

He was born in London in 1958, not 1959, according to the Tate.

The CBE appears to be genuine.


Yes the CBE is genuine, and his first award of that kind for his services to music. Also, the tate is right. it was 58, not 59. But his age and awards dont matter. His playing does, what do you think about that?

[edit] ?

His grandfather was one of 12 musicians allowed to leave Russia in the first world war and he very returned.

That last phrase does not make sense? --jmb 11:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ...??? O_O

Does he really use gut strings on his Cello? That seems weird... Moocowsrule (talk) 01:16, 5 November 2008 (UTC)moocowsrule
