When poetry and exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique
Legendary cellist Mischa Maisky will perform with the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra on February 28, at 7:00 p.m., at Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall. The concert will be conducted by ANPO Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Eduard Topchjan.
Maisky has the distinction of being the only cellist in the world to have studied with both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky. Rostropovich has lauded Mischa Maisky as "... one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation of cellists. His playing combines poetry and exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique."
As an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist during the last 25 years, he made well over 30 recordings with such orchestras as Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Orpheus und Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and others. One of the highlights in his career was the year 2000 - it was mainly devoted to a world-wide Bach tour which included over 100 concerts! In order to express his deep admiration for this great composer, Mischa Maisky has recorded Bach's Solo Suites for the third time.
The program will feature Tchaikovsky's Nocturne, written for cello, orchestra, "Kol Nidrei" by Bruch, Saint-Saëns - cello concerto N. 1 and Beethoven's Symphony N. 7.
