Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Max Bruch & Frédéric Chopin

It's no exaggeration to refer to Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky as living legends. Both individually and in unison, they have enriched the world of music with their concerts and recordings. At the Lausitz Festival, they begin by appearing separately, filling the Görlitz Synagogue with the radiant beauty of Johann Sebastian Bach's intimate solo music. It's the first time since 1938 that music has been performed in the art-deco building, which survived Kristallnacht. It is followed by Beethoven's two-movement Cello Sonata no. 2 in G minor, before Maisky plays the Jewish prayer Kol Nidrei by Max Bruch, accompanied by Argerich. The concert comes to a dreamy conclusion with the largo from Frédéric Chopin's Cello Sonata in G minor. 

This concert was recorded on October 13th 2020.
