Pieter Wispelwey (Haarlem, 1962) is a Dutch cello player. In 1992 he was the first cellist ever to receive the Netherlands Music Prize, given to the most promising young musician in the Netherlands. In the last decade he has been regarded as one of the leading cello soloists. This was not always so: in his twenties Pieter was considered by some to be both an enfant terrible and was typecast as a baroque cellist by others.
