World-class cellist Mischa Maisky joins Christoph Eschenbach as he returns to the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra for an evening of captivating Romantic works.
Mendelssohn’s Ruy Blas Overture sets a dramatic tone, followed by Tchaikovsky’s Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra, where Maisky’s emotive playing brings the lyrical beauty to the forefront. Bruch’s Kol Nidrei showcases the cello’s rich, mournful voice, before Respighi’s Adagio con variazione offers a moment of reflective tranquillity.
