Cellist Mischa Maisky, a student of Rostropovich and Piatigorsky, has had the pleasure in his later years of performing with his children, pianist Lily, and violinist Sascha. The music on this release, recorded live at a castle in the Bavarian city of Krün, features Lily Maisky and has the sense of ensemble that often enough comes with family groups. The program is just what the title promises, a set of 20th century works, short or composed of short movements, many of them in cello-and-piano arrangements. It has the marks of an album made for fans of a particular artist, and so it is in part. However, the work of Lily Maisky stands out. She cultivates a self-effacing style that diverges sharply from that of her father's, and it's distinctive and effective. As the program proceeds into a pair of works by Anton Webern, she's really haunting. Sample the miniature Three Little Pieces for cello and piano, Op. 11, by Webern. One hopes that some enterprising vocalist will snap her up as a song accompanist, for she has what it takes. In the CD release, those Webern pieces are followed by excerpts from Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps for a quietly ecstatic finale. A "bonus CD" featuring only Mischa Maisky and including an overdubbed Bachianas Brasileiras No. 1 and a new cello concerto of Benjamin Yusupov is also included; it adds little to the program and disturbs its continuity for streaming listeners. Nonetheless, a recommended release.
