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.”

Review
Kate Rockstrom
I was very glad when I opened the liner notes to see that the first question that was asked of the Latvian Cellist Mischa Maisky was, ‘why an album of Spanish music’? The answer? He simply loves them and believes in their appeal across all cultures. With daughter Lily Maisky at the piano they romp their way through some amazing arrangements of music better known for orchestral or violin. This shouldn’t deter you from getting this album though. The musicianship is flawless with passion and spirit overflowing in each work.
