	classical music: cherkassky (philharmonic tschaikowsky tchaikovsky)
		Shura Cherkassky is one of the greatest pianist of the past century.
		Shura Cherkassky recorded Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos one and two for DG back in the mid 1950s but he continued to programme them in concert well into his eighties.
		Cherkassky was an individualist and a descendent of the 'Golden Age of Piano Playing.' He was a student of the legendary Josef Hofmann and this is reflected in his highlighting of secondary themes and the fully rounded, gilt-edged...

	[CD-70904] Shura Cherkassky: 1982 San Francisco Recital / Ivory Classics Online
		Shura Cherkassky (1911-1995), as a pupil of the legendary Josef Hofmann, was imbued in the nineteenth-century tradition of Romantic piano-playing.
		Cherkassky had a big technique and wide dynamic range, but a small ego, which translates to mean that he could do whatever he wanted in virtually any kind of repertory but eschewed virtuosic grandstanding at all costs in the interests of his art.
		Cherkassky was 71 when he gave this concert, and I'll assert that his technique was as intact as Horowitz's or Rubinstein's at that age.

	Shura Cherkassky
		Shura Cherkassky was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1911 and emigrated to the U.S. as a child.
		It was great fun talking with Cherkassky and of all the interviews I've done over the years, it's the one I recall most fondly -- even though we didn't cover anything of substance.
		I spoke with Shura Cherkassky on November 14, 1987.

	Shura Cherkassky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Cherkassky was a pupil of Josef Hofmann, and he inherited his master's taste for an increasingly forgotten repertoire and approach to playing (though he also learned and programmed 20th century masterworks frequently, and played them well).
		Shura Cherkassky (born 1911) was a Russian-born American pianist who began making acoustic records as a child prodigy in 1924 and made his final, digital recordings just before his death in 1995.
		Cherkassky's musical ability was shown at an early age and when five years old he had composed a five-act _ opera and when ten years of age had conducted a symphony orchestra.

	Shura Cherkassky captivates audience at Jordan Hall
		SHURA CHERKASSKY DEMONSTRATED once again why he is considered the last of the great romantic piano players after captivating a mixed audience in a recent concert at the New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall.
		Born in the Soviet Union, the 79-year-old pianist emigrated to the United Studies to study with the renowned Josef Hofmann, himself a pupil of the famous Russian pianist and composer, Anton Rubenstein.
		Shura Cherkassky then delighted the audience with two encores, the first in which he played the famous Liszt Liebestraum.

	[CD-72003] Shura Cherkassky: The Historic 1940s Recordings / Ivory Classics Online
		Shura Cherkassky (1909-1995), as a pupil of the legendary Josef Hofmann, was imbued in the nineteenth-century tradition of Romantic piano-playing.
		Best of all, in the same composer's Fantaisie, Cherkassky is so subtle and acute that you seem to hear this masterpiece for the first time, constantly alerted to voices and textures, angles and perspectives undreamed of by less audacious or exploratory artists.
		Cherkassky was a link to the 'Golden Age' pianism of Paderewski, Hofmann, De Pachmann, Godowsky, and their forebears, including Anton Rubinstein.

	Shura Cherkassky - Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Liszt \| ArkivMusic
		The late Shura Cherkassky was one of the few champions of Tchaikovsky's Second piano concerto and his performance here reveals his devotion to the piece.
		Conductor Walter Susskind shares Cherkassky's respect for the work; his broad tempo for the first movement allows the music more breathing space and gives it a grander profile than Rudolf Barshai does on his fiery EMI recording with Peter Donohoe.
		Cherkassky makes a spinning top of the finale, bringing the work to a close with an unabashed smile.

		I first dismissed this recording of the Preludes because Cherkassky doesn't have the same technical polish that younger artists are able to attain.
		The B minor Sonata is a live performance and also shows Cherkassky at his most individual.
		I was so taken by this recording that I went out and purchased another Cherkassky recording of Chopin.

		I heard Shura Cherkassky play in person three times, and each time he blew me away, but his recordings were not always as warm or exciting as his live performances.
		In the Etudes, especially, I can almost see Shura hunched over the keys, his feet working the pedals frantically if instinctively to produce those beautiful corruscating cascades of sound in which he enveloped us all.
		Of these surely the most elegant, the most nuanced are those of Cherkassky.

		Needless to say, as in all Nimbus recordings, the sound is very well proportioned and it is pure delight to sense such intimacy as recorded here by Shura.
		To all those who know his playing, there are some surprises and also some dissapointments in this set.
		But all throughout, these recordings show Cherkassky as the master he was in his old age: reminiscent of piano-playing where the performer played as an extension of the keyboard and the composer - and that ever present sense of discovery found in his performances.

	Shura Cherkassky
		Since none of the customary pianoers have said anything that has made its way to my news server, I'll take the liberty of trying to answer this.
		(Just remember, if you jump on some woeful distortion of fact that you had a few days to get to this first, okay?) Shura Cherkassky was one of the great Romantic pianists of the century, and arguably one of the last ones (7 Oct 1909 - 27 Dec 1995).
		Might want to try them one at a time before diving in whole-hog though.

		The Philips collection is a treasure-house of important performances and this set is particularly valuable for the Preludes, the F minor Nocturne, and the Barcarolle.
		I am so happy that this album exists so I can tell people, "THAT is what Shura Cherkassky sounded like."
		When I bought this recorg a few years ago it was intuitive choise.
