Maisky began studies with Mstislav Rostropovich at the Moscow Conservatory whilst pursuing a concert career throughout the Soviet Union. In 1970, he was imprisoned in a labor camp near Gorky for 18 months. After his release, he emigrated to Israel to avoid further persecution by the Soviet regime.

He has played worldwide and has made hundreds of recordings.

Most beautiful Adagio that I never heard! Strange that with all my recordings of Yo-Yo-Ma and so many "Selected Adagios" I've never encountered this peerless jewel....So many thanks for this!
