New music, old friends and supercharged Strauss from the Estonian Festival Orchestra.

Julius Drake, Krzysztof Chorzelski and Mark Padmore contributed their notable gifts of piano, viola and voice respectively in a very special, often heartfelt fundraising evening for two music education charities. 

Berlin Philharmonic cellists combine with Turkish counterparts for a dazzling performance in Istanbul.

Mischa Maisky, the de-facto romantic cellist, gave the Istanbul audience a triple treat of passionate cello playing in Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Bruch, but surprisingly enough he was in most uninhibited during the Haydn concerto.Mr Maisky’s vibrato is excessive, a trait inherited from his longtime teacher and mentor Gregor Piatigorsky, but it never gets in the way of music.

Lily Maisky, piano, y Mischa Maisky, chelo, ofrecieron un recital de sorprendente sintonía artística que cerró el ciclo de cámara del Círculo de Bellas Artes a un nivel altísimo.

Au programme de ce "concert de minuit" du festival Enescu : Misha Masky et la Philharmonie de chambre de Saint-Pétersbourg dans des pièces d'Enescu, Tchaïkovsky, Bruch et Mendelssohn. Concert assez mitigé, avec un orchestre qui manque de caractère et un violoncelliste qui malgré toutes ses qualités indéniables manque de justesse.
