Synopsis

Amazon.com

Mischa Maisky's wide vibrato, big, full tone, exaggerated rubatos, and consistent lunge for the emotional jugular make him a controversial artist, loved by some and disliked by others. This disc will confirm both opinions, as did his earlier, intense recording of the Concerto with Bernstein. Here, he's joined by a much smaller, conductorless orchestra and there's a refreshing give-and-take between band and soloist. Although it reveals countless orchestral details, the close-up engineering spotlights the cello, undercutting the point of recording the chamber orchestra version. Maisky's playing is often breathtaking in its virtuosity. His is an interesting, if overstated, alternative view of the work. Argerich's dynamic partnership at the piano helps make the fillers exciting, too. The 5 Pieces in Folk Style are beautifully done, though some may find them excessively bloated. Ditto for the other short works on the disc. --Dan Davis

CD Reviews

They are as one!

John Kwok | 03/17/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In a series of pieces not often recorded, Maisky and Argerich showed their true greatness. Maisky is a genius, and he is material of some of the loveliest of Schumann's work. The CD is a gift to the music lover because of its quality and the fact that these are compositions not frequently recorded. The sensitive rendering of each of the chamber pieces is simply beautifully made music. Argerich shows, again, her great talent as an accompanist. Her work ties perfectly to the lithe, romantic style of Maisky. The concerto with Orpheus is Maisky in a tremendous display of his skills as a musician with flawless styles, and Orpheus backs him beautifully"

Argerich and Maisky at their lyrical best

"This is yet another splendid collaboration between Argerich and Maisky which Deutsche Grammophon has done a fine job in recording. Both give lyrical, dramatic performances of these lesser known Schumann works for the cello and piano; their playing seems almost sublime, replete with much empathy and respect for each other as partners. Maisky's performance of the Schumann cello concerto with Orpheus is splendid too, though I wouldn't regard it as definitive. It lacks some of the dramatic tension I've heard in Heinrich Schiff's recording with Bernard Haitink conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. Still, fans of both Argerich and Maisky will rejoice over their latest collaboration."
