The Macao Cultural Centre, under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents the world-renowned cellist Mischa Maisky in recital, to be staged on December 2, 2016, at the Grand Auditorium.
Regarded as a true heir of Russia’s delicate poetry and technical brilliance, Mischa Maisky was the sole disciple of master cellists Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky. Born in Latvia and repatriated to Israel, Maisky embarked on a long, prolific, international career which led him to become an exclusive artist for Deutsche Gramophon. Frequently collaborating with renowned pianists such as Martha Argerich, Boris Berman or Radu Lupu, amongst many others, his recordings won numerous awards, such as the Record Academy Prize in Tokyo. Besides his prizes and studio work, Maisky has been playing with many of the best orchestras in the world, such as the Vienna and Berlin philharmonics.
Accompanied by his daughter Lily Maisky on the piano, at CCM’s recital the virtuoso will be performing Gabriel Fauré’s well-known cello work Elégie, César Franck’s Sonata in A major and Astor Piazzolla’s everlasting Le Grand Tango, as well as other arranged compositions by Camille Saint-Saëns and Francis Poulenc.
For those who wish to find more about Maisky, there will be a free admission pre-show talk. Presented in Cantonese, the session takes place at CCM’s Conference Room one hour prior to the concert with the speaker sharing insightful views on Mischa Maisky’s background and on the recital’s repertoire.
