	Mischa Maisky
		Mischa Maisky was born in Riga in 1948.
		Maisky’s tone is veiled and gentle, and his phrasing affectingly poetic…Maisky holds the line with great skill…The second movement is conversational and lightly pointed, with a tripping second set, and I loved the way the cello races ahead into the finale, beckoning the pianist to respond.
		Maisky’s account of "The Swan" is arresting: where most cellists give it ample tone and warm expressiveness, he plays it rather slowly and very quietly indeed.

		Maisky destroyed the rhythmic vitality of some of the dance movements, and this changed the focus of the performance from the intricacies of Bach's late Baroque stylized refashioning of the concept of the suite to the individuality of a superstar player.
		Maisky played the Courante of this suite so fast that the sixteenth notes blurred together meaninglessly, but then he had to slow down to leap down to the bass notes, requiring a manipulation of tempo that destroyed any sense of a dance.
		Maisky was coaxed to play another Sarabande, which as I recollect it, was from the second Suite, BWV 1008, in D minor, whose somber first measures I took for a gamba piece by Marin Marais.

	CELLO: MISCHA MAISKY - New York Times
		MISCHA MAISKY, a cellist who emigrated from Russia to Israel in 1972, plays music in the grand manner, as befits a student of both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky.
		Maisky makes part of his impression by visual means, with his soulful, bearded face, his mop of curly hair and his array of open, wide-sleeved shirts - on Thursday, blue for Suite No. 4, white for No. 1 and fl for No. 5.
		Maisky clearly loves this music (he has recorded it for Deutsche Grammophon), he is no Anner Bylsma-like early-music purist.

		Maisky's new interpretive ideas actually work well in some places, especially in the darker, moodier sections of the D minor suite, where the complex minor-key harmonies emerge with somewhat greater coherence.
		And, as in the Gigue of the C major suite, the interpretive liberties Maisky takes are sometimes so outlandish that you have to wonder at the sheer audaciousness.
		Maisky likes to suggest that "Bach was the greatest romantic" and takes pride in accusations that he performs his music "romantically".

		Maisky also gives a spirited account of works by Joseph Haydn: two cello concertos and two violin concertos transcribed for cello.
		Greatly admired by Leonard Bernstein, he was chosen by the maestro to perform the cello part in Schumann's Cello Concerto and in Brahms' Double Concerto (with Gidon Kremer at the violin), both recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic.
		"Mischa Maisky is an exceptional artist who is destined to have a great career as a virtuoso cellist." Gregor Piatigorsky's prophecy has come true and is a reality that we will hopefully continue to enjoy for many years to come.

		By contrast, Mischa Maisky's cycle is less of a musical statement than a big-star event.
		Maisky prepared his own edition of the score which is presented by DG on an accompanying CD-ROM that offers a 'playback cursor' to aid in following the notes as well as 'articles on the artist, the works, and the composer'.
		Rather than focusing on the long musical line, Maisky favours sudden, abrupt accents that inevitably draw attention to the player, like a dancer impressing upon us the difficulty of the turn he has just accomplished.

		Maisky drew from the heart of Schumann's genius and offered up the most moving live performance of the concerto that this writer has yet to encounter.
		With nimble grace his approach was like that of a dancer's, attentive to gesture in all instances and accommodating of the finest nuances at no sacrifice to flow.
		Maisky skated through the cello's rapid passagework in the first movement, feather-light while fully entoned.

	Classical Net Review - Dvořák/Strauss - Cello Concerto/Don Quixote
		Maisky has dedicated this disc to his old mentor, Gregor Piatigorsky, who died thirty years earlier.
		Maisky is a fine cellist, but it is less likely that these readings will stand the test of time the way that Piatigorsky's have.
		Maisky is willful, much as Leonard Bernstein was when he conducted the Dvořák with Maisky back in the 1980s, but without Bernstein's electric personality.

	DSCH 23 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Cello Sonata
		Maisky and Argerich's second movement is more tempestuous than Prause and Kasman's, but never loses its sense of humour.
		Notwithstanding the hint passed from the composer through Rostropovich to Maisky, it is unclear how authentic this interpretation of the finale really is. Certainly, neither Rostropovich nor the only other cellist with whom Shostakovich recorded this sonata, Daniil Shafran (Eclectra ECCD-2046; reviewed in DSCH No. 14), exhibited anything like Maisky's intoxicated arrhythmia.
		Maisky and Argerich insert open spaces to create an airy second movement, and offer up an ebullient, lyrical third where the wit is conspiratorial and inclusive rather than sardonic and remote.

		She has enjoyed a chamber partnership with Mischa Maisky for a while now, and their musical closeness shows.
		The rhythmic play of the finale is enjoyed to the full by both players, the cheers from the audience at the end completely justified.
		In fact the many moods of this movement are conveyed in bright colours, none less so than the manic passage around 9’50, with Maisky pouring superhuman energy into his arpeggiations, against Argerich’s bell-like tolling chords.

		Argerich has partnered Kremer and Maisky in Beethoven sonatas with varying degrees of critical success; but in this reviewer's opinion, each and every one of those performances deserve a hearing for never are these musicians satisfied with an account of the notes on the page.
		This short tuneful scherzo is followed by heavy, crashing chords from the piano that is repeated six times, a bleak landscape on which Maisky and Kremer intertwine the musical grief that is in the heart of this work.
		Maisky excels here in a deeply personal rendition of his part, this is a quality of his music that always manages to grip me. Kremer is also truly sympathetic, providing a rough edge to his sound that is absolutely right for this music.

		The C Major of Prokofiev (1949), despite having been written during troubling times for the composer (and others deemed anti-populist), has the energy and blithe urgency of Prokofiev’s most fertile period, especially with the spirit of his masterpiece ballet Romeo and Juliet not far from his motifs in the sonata.
		Argerich has maintained her muscular devotion to Prokofiev, which revealed itself early, in her account of the C Major Concerto with Abbado.
