Mischa Maisky performs the Bach cello suites in Palladio's Villa Caldongo
Mischa Maisky plays Bach's six suites for violoncello solo - masterpieces that are the cornerstone of cello repertoire The architectonic purity of Palladio's Villa Caldogno sets the scene for this compelling program recorded in 1986 Mischa Maisky fully exploits the range of dynamics and colours available on his Montagnana instrument "If I were to describe music as my religion, these six suites would be the Bible" (Mischa Maisky) "His playing combines poetry an exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique" (Mstislav Rostropovich) "The recording captures the sense of a lone musician responding inquisitively and strongly, with all his mind and technique, divine dictation" (The London Times) A first-time international release on DVD - In 5.1 DTS Surround Sound |
