Pablo Casals: The Ancient Spanish Cellist

Pablo Casals is one of the ancient Spanish cellist and also a conductor born in Catalonia. In modern times, he is substantially regarded as one of the most pre-eminent cellist in the 20th century. Generally, he is referred to as a prominent and a great cellist of all times. Casals made many of his recordings in his career with solo, orchestral music, chamber and conductor (Lea, pg42). Very commonly, remembered in the recording of Bach in the year 1939. He is termed more Catalonian than Spanish since he spent all his time in Catalonia where he was born. Compared to other, like Andres Segovia who was a Spaniard and was well known for his prowess in a guitar, they both were in the same genre of art but Casals was Catalonian. It is noted that Andres Segovia is one of the prominent guitarists in the whole world, and many are students to him (Kohen, pg33).
Another artist who is closely compared to Casals is Victoria de Los Angeles who was also a soprano operatic in Spain. She started her musical art after the end of the Second World War where she is termed as the best soprano artist in Spain (Alier, pg38). All these artistically characters were more Spanish compared to the role played by Casals who was more Catalonian than Spanish. It is evident that Casals might argue that he was more Catalonian than Spanish compared to the rest of the artists mentioned in the discussion (Boulding,
