RUSSIAN CELLIST BERLINSKY DIES
Russian cellist VALENTIN BERLINSKY has died, aged 83.
Berlinsky, who served as cellist for the renowned Borodin Quartet for more than 60 years, died on 15 December (08) in Moscow.
The death was announced on the quartet's website, borodinquartet.com, which gave no cause.
Berlinsky, the longest-serving member of the group, performed until his retirement last year (07). With the other players, he gave performances at the funerals of Stalin and famed composer Sergei Prokofiev.
He is survived by a daughter, concert pianist Ludmila Berlinskaya.
