This very personal album, dedicated to Mischa's young son Mateo, features recordings with his daughter Lily Maisky. The album takes listeners on a captivating journey through works from the 20th century. Original compositions and arrangements for cello reveal the diversity of an event-filled age with a cellist whose mastery of the cantabile and dance-like qualities of the repertoire is breathtaking. Includes a second disc with a multi-track recording of 'Bachianas Brasileiras No. 1' by Villa-Lobos, with Mischa playing all eight cello parts - a truly captivating interpretation. Also on the CD2 the fascinating 'Cello Concerto' by Benjamin Yusupov, a recording with the Lucerner Sinfonieorchester under the direction of the composer himself. Included is a 20-page booklet with liner notes by musicologist Wolfgang Rathert, and a text by the composer Yusupov himself introducing his 'Cello Concerto'.
