2 Sem 2014 - Part Two

Mischa Maisky
10 Classic Albums



By David H. Bailey
This collection is an amazing deal -- most of the included CDs are available for sale separately but the total cost would be much higher than buying this collection. I ordered it for my wife for Christmas since there were 3 CDs of Mr. Maisky's that she asked for and they were all included in this set. She is ecstatic over the collection and has discovered even more excellent recordings that she had previously not known about. Buying this set was truly a no-brainer -- anybody who loves cello music should buy this set!
