"This is an attractive recital of transcriptions of favourite Spanish pieces - I hesitate to describe them as 'lollipops' as they are more than that...Mishca Maisky demonstrates a natural feeling for this colourful music" (Gramophone)
"This is an attractive recital of transcriptions of favourite Spanish pieces - I hesitate to describe them as 'lollipops' as they are more than that...Mishca Maisky demonstrates a natural feeling for this colourful music...[the Shchedrin] makes a spectacular end to a recital by this admirably matched father-and-daughter duo, very beautifully recorded in the Bavarian Schloss-Elmau."
(Gramophone)
In describing ¡España!, Mischa Maisky has stated, "I've included Spanish music in my programmes for many years and have been waiting for a chance to record these pieces." This is his first album with his daughter, the gifted pianist Lily Maisky. Mischa Maisky, "the genius of the cello" (Melómano, Madrid), says that "Emotionally speaking, I feel very close to this music. Wherever I play Granados, Falla and Albéniz onstage, the response is always hugely enthusiastic."
