The Essay - 4. Ludwig Quandt
Kate Kennedy meets musicians who, like her, had to stop playing after injury and rethink their lives.
As principal cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic for three decades, Ludwig Quandt performed with conductors Claudio Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle until an injury unrelated to performing nearly ended his career. He reveals what being forced to confront silence means for a musician's relationship with their instrument and the innovative solution he found on the other side of the world from an unlikely source.
