Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky are living legends. For 50 years now, they have been considered a dream duo, united by an extraordinary artistic friendship and thus able to express a unique musical symbiosis - in wordless agreement. "The way in which the pianist and the cellist communicate with each other could be described as magical," writes the Tagesspiegel, "they play in absolute privacy, in relaxed intimacy, as if 2,500 pairs of eyes weren't focused on them."
The motto during joint rehearsals or on stage is: "The boss is always the music," reveals Maisky in an interview with BR-Klassik and raves about his colleague: "When I listen to her, I sometimes catch myself thinking about what I'm actually imagining, being able to sit next to her. I really can count myself very lucky to be able to make music with her. Every concert is something very special.«
To mark their golden stage anniversary, the two world-class artists are coming to Berlin with sonatas by Schubert, Beethoven and Grieg.

Berliner Philharmonie
The Berliner Philharmonie is a concert hall in Berlin, Germany. Home to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the building is acclaimed for both its acoustics and its architecture.
The Philharmonie lies on the south edge of the city's Tiergarten and just west of the former Berlin Wall, an area that for decades suffered from isolation and drabness but that today offers ideal centrality, greenness, and accessibility. Its cross street and postal address is Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße, named for the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor. The neighborhood, often dubbed the Kulturforum, can be reached on foot from the Potsdamer Platz station.
Actually a two-venue facility with connecting lobby, the Philharmonie comprises a Großer Saal of 2,440 seats for orchestral concerts and a chamber-music hall, the Kammermusiksaal, of 1,180 seats. Though conceived together, the smaller venue was added only in the 1980s.
