In Concert
Mischa Maisky (violoncello) Martha Argerich (piano)

[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday 20 January 2009

"An amazing recital, the ultimate demonstration of how two artists with individual ideas and the technical wherewithal to realise them in practice can tease, cajole, pull or push the line, toy with dynamics, experiment with rubato, in a word (all senses), really play" (Gramophone)

"An amazing recital, the ultimate demonstration of how two artists with individual ideas and the technical wherewithal to realise them in practice can tease, cajole, pull or push the line, toy with dynamics, experiment with rubato, in a word (all senses), really play...It's all there in the Introduction, Mischa Maisky's purring tone singing atop Argerich's stiletto staccato, the tiny delays, heightened colours."
Record Review / Rob Cowan, Gramophone

"This is the most energetic and detailed 'Suite Italienne' I have ever heard...This concert was clearly an event and I¿m glad DG gave it to us. These two are among the most involved and technically agile players in the business."
Record Review / D Moore, American Record Guide
