RECORDING INFORMATION | |
The second of two units devoted to Russian-born pianist Shura
Cherkassky. Included are two key concerto performances by Cherkassky, the two
completed piano concertos by Tchaikovsky. These performances have rarely been
equalled, let alone surpassed, for their sheer elegance and technical
polish. In all, Cherkassky again is presented as a consummate poet and virtuoso of the piano.
