Customer Reviews:
Shura Cherkassky in his old age.......2000-07-12
Nimbus has done all fans of this legendary pianist quite a service by releasing these recordings on a bargain package. 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. Most memorable are surprisingly those works which require a higher degree of instrospection such as the Shumann Kreisleriana and the Rachmaninov Corelli Variations, unfortunately we must keep in mind that these recordings were made towards the end of his life and highly-virtuosic works such as the Bach-Busoni Chaconne and the Pabst Eugene Onegin Paraphrase come through only after some obvious struggle - yet, there are some extraordinary moments which should cause envy on most younger performers. 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. This is always an ideal combination for great music making.
