Mischa Maisky, 70
mainHard to believe but the long-haired cellist from Latvia is 70 today… and still playing strong.
He is the only cellist ever to have studied with both Piatogorsky and Rostropovich and probably the only concert artist to serve time in both a Soviet jail and a mental institution.
He emigrated to Israel in 1972 and has since made his peace with Moscow.
Happy birthday, Mischa!

except Misha is cooler :))
… but his characteristic, energic playing makes him the Rambo of the cello.
Oh, and does he also drive trucks into peoples’ houses to demonstrate his testosterone?
A great artist! Happy Birthday, Mischa Maisky.
IN the last 5 years, MM has fathered two more children, to accompany several others in earlier decades. Good for him
A wonderful cellist! Does he ever come to philadelphia to play? If so, ill buy my tickets now!
A wonderful cellist! Happy birthday, Mischa Maisky!
