G - Acclaimed cellist Mischa Maisky plays works by Haydn and Schumann - a release in celebration of Maisky's 60th birthday

"Maisky and his players perform the Haydn with warm, polished energy . . . it's beautiful playing, and visually compelling."
Record Review / Michael Scott Rohan, BBC Music Magazine (London) / 01. November 2007

"... he lacks nothing in terms of fleet-fingered virtuosity and many will find his chamber-scale approach more in keeping with the music's Classical spirit . . . As the perfect coupling, DG has included a famous "live" . . . 1985 performance of the Schumann Concerto with Bernstein and the VPO, whose clear-sightedness and graceful technical precision . . . make a strong case for this unfairly maligned product of the composer's later years."
Record Review / Julian Haylock, International Record Review (London) / 01. November 2007
