About

This is the seventh Shura Cherkassky release to appear on BBC Legends and follows a succession of very well reviewed and much sought after broadcasts made by this wonderfully individual pianist.

The recital from London's Queen Elizabeth Hall on 1 November 1970, in atmospheric stereo, features a number of works which are very rare for this artist, such as the Schubert Sonata D.959 which he recorded for the World Record Club in 1960 and has never been issued since.

The Tchaikovsky (arr: Rachmaninov) Cradle Song in A flat minor Op.16 No.1 is new to Cherkassky's discography.

Others, such as Mendelssohn's Andante and Rondo Capriccioso in E Op.14 and Schumann's (arr. Tausig) Der Contrabandiste, are rare additions to his recorded legacy.

Recorded: Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, 1 November 1970.
