He came to the U.S. in the 1970's with other kids from a Shanghai music school. He walked very quickly onto the stage to solo, wearing pants a little short and shoes a little big, a sign of China's economic condition then. He played Sicilienne by Maria T. von Paradis. I was thoroughly impressed. Yes, Issac Stern discovered him and may have nurtured him along the way, too. Thanks, Mr. Stern.
@Jekatherina Please...please listen to Truls Mork and his suites before you ever consider Maisky to be your epitome of music making. His Schumann is on youtube, and is excellent
@vitosideb I know what you are trying to say, but I wouldn't think of it as execution. I would say wonderful 'expression' of the music. He clearly played it well :)
@jwunschie14 I speak better in Italian Language and in Italian we say "magnifica esecuzione" for a piece played by a musician, and it 's a compliment as "Wonderful performance": the musical expression is something a little different: anyway He clearly is a good performer with an excellent expression of this music!-)
very sensitive response, and a masterly ability to fill the sound vibration and touch the bow to string, a special musical thinking Bravo! Thank you for this video =-)
I can't help but cry whenever I hear this piece. It's... I don't even have words to describe.

Isaac Stern was right when he went to China and pick out the next great cellist.
But little did he know that he picked someone who later turned out to be the greatest.

He is the best. Every time I listen to his play, I am captivated by his inspiring and emotional, his gentle yet muscular play. Speechless.
