Casals and the Art of Interpretation
"This is an immensely valuable book and one which is clearly designed to appeal to all musicians—not just string players...Mr. Blum has captured in great detail the little things that so often make a great teacher. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Art of Interpretation."—Music Teacher "The volume belongs to an exceptional class of literature: it is to be welcomed as a significant contribution.

Sensitive, perceptive and lucid, Cellist in Exile captures that flavor of unique personality. The book reveals Casals a he is today-still playing the cello inimitable at the age of eighty-five, still stubbornly asserting the moral tenets which have shaped his life-and shows him in the setting of Puerto Rico, which has been his home for the past few years and is his present place of exile. At the same time the book, without being a formal biography, succeed in re-creating for the reader a vivid sense of Casals long intense, rich and purposeful like.
