Overview

Cellisimo is a brilliant collaboration between cellist Mischa Maisky and pianist Daria Hovora, showcasing a collection of both classical masterpieces and intimate performances. With pieces from iconic composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Frédéric Chopin, and Claude Debussy, the album explores a wide range of emotions and musical textures. Maisky's emotive cello playing and Hovora's nuanced piano accompaniments take listeners on a captivating journey through both well-loved and lesser-known works.

From Bach's serene Air to the passionate Allegro Appassionato by Camille Saint-Saëns, this album offers a rich display of the cello's expressive capabilities. The diverse selection reflects the vast emotional landscape of the classical repertoire, beautifully captured during the recording at Schloss Rapperswil in 1993.
