Author Biography Steven Isserlis whole family was musical - his father plays the violin, his mother played the piano, and his two sisters play the violin and viola - so he took up the cello because he didnt want to get left out. He soon decided that playing the cello was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life(partly because it meant that he wouldnt have to get up too early in the morning to get to work). These days, he travels all over the world, playing concerts to whoever wants to listen (and to a few who dont too) and making recordings. He studied in England, Scotland and America; his main teacher was a wonderfully eccentric lady called Jane Cowan, who convinced him that he had to become friends with the composers whose music he played. In 1998, he was awarded a CBE, for services to music; and in 2000, he was awarded the Schumann prize.
