Deutsche Grammophon, 1999 Marvelous Performances I have quite a few recording by Shura Cherkassky but I was prompted to buy this one after hearing the last two movements of the Tchaikovsky Second Piano Concerto played on the radio. I thought that the playing of the concerto was very different from what I had heard before and found it daring and exciting. Then, it was revealed who the pianist was and I was hooked. For some listeners Shura ...             Essential Piano: The Ultimate Piano Collection Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Decca, 2004             #1 Piano Album5 reviews No. 1 Piano Album Decca, 2002 Pure This album has it all, believe it or not. There are loads of cheesy #1 blah blah albums that are horridly popular. Sure, there are many well-known pieces on this, such as Alla Turca, the Adagio Sostenuto of the Moonlight, Fur Elise and the Minute Waltz. But almost everything else is relatively unheard of outside of the closely knit piano community. That said, these CD's opened my eyes to some of ...             Liszt: Orchestral Works / Karajan2 reviews Franz Liszt, Herbert von Karajan, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1998 Accomplished readings that don't quite burn the house down As the lead review indicates, these are accomplished performances that lack, however, the last bit of fire and conviction. On these two CDs we have almost in total the surviving orchestral works of Liszt. He has a far vaster output of tone poems, and there are transcriptions of all the Hungarian Rhapsodies. But history has winnowed out the music that is so vapid and bombastic that even the ...             Great Pianists of the 20th Century - Selections from the definitive collection [Sampler]7 reviews Fryderyk Chopin, Johannes Brahms, ... Polygram Records Philips, 1998 Unparalled Excellence (Mark G. Davis) If you only purchase one classical piano cd in your entire life, this one should be it. All the masters, at their very best on it. If you have piano cd's, this should be part of that collection. I purchased one, almost not believing what I read on the jacket. I'm telling my friends about this one, as I'm aware of no other CD having all those piano masters - - at any price?)...             Romantic Piano Adagios4 reviews Romantic Piano Adagios Decca, 2002 All-Star Lineup of Soothing, Inspiring Piano What a collection of piano greats, Ashkenazy, Lupu, Roge, et al, playing the likes of Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Schurbert, et al. The charm and magic of this is exceptional. Romantic for one or candlelight with someone special.

First Hand Records, 2009 14 YEARS ON This very welcome reissue marks the centenary of Cherkassky's birth, but he is not all that long gone from among us. He died only 14 years ago, he was still performing until very near the end, and another of his recitals that I own is the formidable and demanding programme that he gave to mark his 80th birthday. Cherkassky was a pupil of Hofmann, but from what little of Hofmann's work there ...             Panorama: Passion for Piano1 review Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2001 Great Classical Piano I picked up this CD because it had some of my favorite piano pieces of Bach, Brahms and Bartok on it. The renditions on these discs are terrific. And every single selection is really worth listening to- this is some of the best classical piano out there. If you're like me and aren't really concerned about owning the complete Bach, Brahms, Chopin, etc, this is the disc to pick up for a good ...             For My Love2 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ... Decca, 2002 Overall A Great Selection of Music These "set-your-mood" genre of CD's is by no means an introduction to classical music. I myself have complete works of several composers, but I still enjoy listening to these kinds of CD's. The selection of music is excellent and adheres closely to what the title suggests. Both the composers and the artists are able to fully bring out the dream-like quality in the music.

You could almost say that he was the BBC's `Pianist in Residence'. Cherkassky concertised internationally for a staggering 70 years plus and the Chopin works on this BBC Legends series disc are all taken from recitals he ...             Polonaises Chopin, Cherkassky Polygram Records, 1990 1969 - Deutsche Grammophon Records - Frederic Chopin / Shura Cherkassky : Piano / Songs Include : Polonaise Cis Moll Op. 26 No. 1 In C Sharp Minor 8:09 / 2.

Profil - G Haenssler, 2005 A Slightly Odd Coupling, But Satisfying Ukraine-born Shura Cherkassky (1911-1995) came to the US in the wake of the Russian revolution and ultimately studied with Josef Hofmann at the Curtis Institute. He began making recordings as early as 1924, a child prodigy. His style of playing, while elegant and romantic, incorporated some of the more modern sensibility associated with pianists of his generation and younger. He was known as a ...             Cherkassky Plays Rameau, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Scriabin, Tchaikovsky, Liszt1 review Jean-Philippe Rameau, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... BBC Legends, 2006 An Extraordinary Recital This recording comes from the 1974 Aldeburgh Festival and is among the most memorable recitals by Shura Cherkassky. Mr. Cherkassky opens with a Gavotte by Rameau that is charmingly played which is followed by a marvelous rendering of Beethoven's Patheque sonata. As Bryce Morrison, who wrote the notes, points out, this is arguably the most joyous recording of this work with Mr. Cherkassky ...             Chopin: Etudes2 reviews Frederic Chopin, Shura Cherkassky Urania, 2005 Legendary performances! Cherkassky still remains among the most celebrated and remarkable pianists in what Chopin concerns. His interpretions were always loaded with an accurate blend of precision and passion. His cantabile and tremolos; glissandis and arpegios were amazing; his thunderous fortissimos supported the melodic line. And this quality is fundamental at the moment to play these Studies, where the epic approach ...             The New Golden Era Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Franz Liszt, ...

He thought the performance was a good one and allowed its release. Mr. Cherkassy has been described as among the last post-romantic pianists, and indeed he is in a class with Rubinstein, Hofmann and Horowitz.
