No one performs Shostakovich with such passion as he does.Straight from the heart.Very moving.

I like to think the composer would appreciated the rawness of Maisky's playing. He always gave performers liberty with his music.

Total shit...way too fast and terrible phrasing. Definitely NOT what Shostakovich would have wanted.

@ThereIsNoArbiter ....Dont you ever get use to hearing the exact same thing? Almost every performance of the concerto sounds exactly the same. Dont you get sick of that? this is different and its very good....This whole interpretation belongs to him and not to the Slava copycats.

@KRAZY685 Not everyone copies Slava. And the piece was freakin' written for him anyway, so technically his version is the version it should be based on. It is the best version

@ThereIsNoArbiter @ThereIsNoArbiter Uhhhhh. How many ways can I say "No" ? That is the most flawed and honestly, ridiculously idiotic comment I've ever heard. "It was written for someone, so their version is the definitive version" ? Really?
What would the point be in becoming a professional soloist, if everyone dismissed your performance because apparently, whoever it was written for is the better version?

@ThereIsNoArbiter I mean, have you heard the Shafran/Shostakovich recording of the cello sonata mvmt 2? It's got the composer playing in it, so it must be the definitive version, right?
I'd like to hear anyone claim that that recording is the definitive performance of that movement. It's without a doubt, a really interesting interpretation,but it is NOT the "best" version.
Besides, "best" is also a pretty ridiculous term to throw around when dealing with classical music.

Recently I've attended to some bad concerts of Maisky, so I'm happy to listen for this marvel. Misha is still alive :)
