Albéniz-Godowsky – this way and that, reflecting its contours and tints as if through some revolving prism. . . . Musically speaking he was one of life’s great adventurers, tirelessly seeking out novel angles, nooks and crannies, deploying a heaven-sent cantabile (“Nobody seems to care about sound any more,” Cherkassky once lamented) and, at his greatest, complementing his plethora of ideas with a rich and transcendental pianism.” “We were fortunate to meet Shura Cherkassky in 1978 when he performed in Berkeley, California,” write producers Marina and Victor Ledin. “He performed a program of Schumann, Bartok, Chopin, and Mussorgsky... and after the concert we went for a frozen yogurt treat.” “He granted us permission in 1982 to record his San Francisco recital, which was broadcast on public radio. He remarked to us at that time that all of the compositions he was about to play felt fresh to him... Not one to ever Shura Cherkassky play any piece of music twice the same way, he on several occasions told us that these San Francisco performances were among his favorite interpretations. For those who were not fortunate enough to have experienced a live Cherkassky concert performance, we hope that this recording will prove as musically enriching as it was for us.” Over his long career, Shura Cherkassky recorded for London/Decca, Nimbus, Vox, Deutsche Grammophon, L’Oiseau-Lyre, Reader’s Digest, HMV, Concert Hall Society, Cupol, Columbia, RCA Victor and Tudor. – 14 –
