Music reviews of Meditation
Music Review: Beautiful rendition of outstanding classic cello pieces
Rating: 5 Stars
This CD has rapidly become my favorite of my entire collection. I can listen to this for hours. Mr. Maisky plays beautifully, with passion, elegance and sensitivity. Although many of these pieces are familiar, Mr. Maisky is capable of nuances that make one feel that one has never before heard them performed so perfectly. As an amateur cellist myself, I have an intense desire to run to my cello and play these pieces whenever I listen to this CD. Unfortunately my enthusiasm far exceeds my talent so I am forever returning to Mr. Maisky's playing. Everyone for whom I have played this immediately wants to know where he or she can purchase it. I might just send off a few of these to some friends so they too can experience the beautiful sound of the cello played by this master.
Description of Meditation
Though his Recordings Are Relatively Few (Especially for a Major Label Artist), Mischa Maisky is Recognized as One of the Most Distinguished and Celebrated Cellists of Our Time. This Recital of Arrangements of Familiar as Well as Undeservedly Unfamiliar Classical Tunes Amply Demonstrates Why. His Tone is Impeccable, Technique Flawless, and Most Important He Leaves the Listener Feeling as If They're Hearing the Piece in a Wholly Fresh New Way. Joined by his Long Time Accompanist Pavel Gililov, this is a Recording all Cello Enthusiasts Are Sure to Enjoy.Russian-born Israeli cellist Mischa Maisky is not the superstar type. He rarely makes recordings and rarely performs outside Europe. But his playing, which he does brilliantly and beautifully on this recording, places him among the finest cellists of our time. This program of famous classical melodies, arranged for cello and piano, is one of the finest cello recordings ever made. --David Vernier
