About

Shura Cherkassky (1909-1995), as a pupil of the legendary Josef Hofmann, was imbued in the nineteenth-century tradition of Romantic piano-playing. His recordings and performances are testaments to an art form that few could master.

In this 2-CD set, Ivory Classics presents Cherkassky's recordings made during the 1940s. Compiled and restored for the first time, using state-of-the-art technology, this two-disc release also includes a lavishly illustrated and annotated 28-page booklet.

This new release is a must for all lovers and collectors of piano playing in the grand tradition.
