The early years

Prieto began playing the cello at age four, studying under the instruction of Hungarian cellist Imre Hartman, also with the Mexican cellist Manuel Garnica Fierro.

Mr. Prieto was a longtime friend of Igor Stravinsky. When Stravinsky returned to Russia in 1962 after a fifty-year absence, he was accompanied in Moscow by Mr. Prieto, who was at that time studying at the Moscow State University in Russia. He also knew Shostakovich and has premiered his first Cello Concerto in different cities in Mexico as well as in Spain.

He continued his instruction with Pierre Fournier in Geneva, and Leonard Rose in New York. He also studied engineering and economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),^[5] university which appointed him in 1993 member of its Department of Music and Theater Arts Visiting Committee.
