Performer: Lily Maisky

Youthful Mahler, earth-shattering Shostatovich and life-affirming Schumann, played by The Maisky Trio and Maxim Rysanov at the Istanbul Music Festival.

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.
