  • I still am very moved by Cherkassky's playing. Here he was abt. 16 years old, and is showing his genius already. I heard him many times in Amsterdam in the 1980's and a few months before his passing away in 1995. His great gift was that each time he found out something different about all the works he played. For that reason his renditions were always "fresh".

  • Thank you for this fine selection by one of my very favorites. I heard him often in different parts of the world thru the 1970-90's. He took up his youthful"Prelude Pathetique" again for encores in the mid-80's and baffled the piano specialists searching for its composer! The Mendelssohns were always very fine under his fingers. Just a note: he was born in 1909, discovering that his birth certificate had been falsified for "Young Genius" reasons!
