Emotional generosity and heartfelt expression form the bedrock of Mischa Maisky’s musicmaking. The Israeli cellist, born in the Soviet Union in 1948, channels indelible lessons learned from his great mentors, Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky, and his imprisonment by the Soviet authorities in 1970. The power and passion of his playing surge through Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C and rise again in his compelling interpretation of the first movement of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto. It’s there, too, in the expressive intensity and ravishing beauty he brings to Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, El Cant dels Ocells, and Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise.
