Shura Cherkassky plays Tchaikovsky Nocturne C# minor op.19 No. 4

[piano345]

Shura captures the melancholy of this little gem perfectly. He had a unique sound - a singing tone from the heart. Lovely pictures to complement the exquisite playing.

If anybody could play the piano like this, these days, Music would enjoy a much better time. The work is not particularly challenging, but played like this it opens up a new world of sound perception and understanding. You are SO very missed, Shura!!!!!!!!

Haunting music, beautifully played and so well matched to the images. Thanks for this pleasure!
