As Mr. Morrison points out in his notes, Shura Cherkassky came from a time where a pianist was equally important as the composer in the interpretation of a piece of music. This recital shows Mr. Cherkassky as a performer ever exploring the richness of music rather than offering a staid interpretation. The works are beautifully recorded with applause between selections. This CD is a must for lovers of Shura Cherkassky and is a perfect introduction to a remarkable pianist.
