Mischa Maisky

Legendary violoncellist

Expression without shallow overplaying, elegance without flat dramatic gestures, accuracy without mechanic roughness…
just perfectly beautiful and full tone of violoncello, sober expression, concentrated passion… simply maturity, intelligence, strength, and heart… these are the main characteristics of the art of one of the greatest violoncellist of the modern era, the only student of Mstislav Rostropovic and Gregor Piatigorsky at the same time, charismatic Mischa Maisky. Come listen to the rich and warm sound of Maisky’s violoncello and you will understand that it sings even nicer than a human voice… on July 16, 2011 in Castle Riding Hall.
