Johann Sebastian Bach - Mischa Maisky

Musical Group or Musician

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German Baroque composer who wrote the Six Cello Suites. Mischa Maisky (born 1948) is a Latvian-born cellist, known for expressive interpretations; he recorded the Suites (a Deutsche Grammophon release cited in the review, recorded in 1985) and has been described in the review as a student of Rostropovich.

From the review: Maisky's 1985 Deutsche Grammophon double CD of Bach's Six Cello Suites; Maisky is described as a student of Rostropovich and as having an 18th-century Montagnana cello mentioned in the review. The reviewer also references a later Maisky recording of the Suites (2000).

A single, enthusiastic DeBaser review recounts deep personal immersion in Mischa Maisky's 1985 recording of Bach's Six Cello Suites. The reviewer describes transformative live encounters and highlights Maisky's exploratory, visceral sound. Recommended for listeners seeking an expressive, color-rich interpretation.
