España! Songs and Dances from Spain

Gramophone Magazine
This is an attractive recital of transcriptions of favourite Spanish pieces - I hesitate to describe them as 'lollipops' as they are more than that... Mishca Maisky demonstrates a natural feeling for this colourful music... [the Shchedrin] makes a spectacular end to a recital by this admirably matched father-and-daughter duo, very beautifully recorded in the Bavarian Schloss-Elmau.

International Record Review, June 2012
Maisky is true to himself, and so he brings a fresh and thoughtful perspective to music that can be hackneyed...Maisky's generous tone suits his interpretative approach well, and if this disc is not strong on animal excitement, it is nevertheless a sensuous experience...[Lily Maisky] is an alert and very capable partner. She is not overshadowed by the cello but manages to convey a personality of her own.
