A musical Samson?

Sirs,—Your slip is showing. An amusing error and one which must cause consternation amongst students who know the slightest thing about music is the photograph printed on page eight of the issue of Salient on June 15. I refer to the photograph of Pierre Fournier ". . . Undoubtedly one of the most famous cellists of our time . . ."

I have not yet had the good fortune to attend a concert in which the cellist has held the cello to the shoulder (a musical Samson perhaps?). and I recognise the person shown as being the violinist zvi Zeitlin.

Surely this is too much to expect from people who must know the difference between a violin and a cello, How about taking a finger out of the works and showing the correct photo of Pierre Fournier, with something more reasonable, in the next issue of Salient?
