Born in Mexico and educated at MIT, Carlos Prieto is one of the most respected cellists in the world, regularly premiering works composed especially for him by Latin American, North American and European composers. He has won praise for his performances throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, China, India, and Latin America. The New York Times said of his Carnegie Hall performance, \u00abPrieto has no technical limitations and his musical instincts are impeccable.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Strings magazine devoted a cover article to Carlos Prieto calling him a \u00abRenaissance man\u00bb and examining \u00abhis astoundingly rich life as a performer, author, globe-trotter and tireless promoter of Latin composers.\u00bb<\/p>\n
