This book is a three-part exposition of the life and work of Rostropovich, as seen from different angles. One part contains an extensive pictorial record of some of the most important stages of his life. In the second are two detailed accounts about Mstislav Rostropovich - "Slava, The Journalists´ Darling", as seen by a music critic, and "A Twentieth Century Revolutionary", as seen by a famous cellist who, as a fellow Russian, has had the privilege of following and partly accompanying Rostropovich´s life to date in many different ways.

The title of the book -"Rostrospektive"- refers in particular to the exhibition of the same name at the third Cello Festival in Kronberg which was held from 16 to 19 October 1997 in honour of Mstislav Rostropovich on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. Much of this exhibition is reproduced in the pictorial section.
