@lsbrother if you haven't already, look up 4'33 by John Cage. It's brilliant if you have an open mind and seems like something you might enjoy based on the comment (:

@lsbrother Beautiful remark!

Godowski is fiendishly hard to play. Have you tried his Chopin Etudes ?!

IMSLP

Oh I wish the audio was better!!! very nice though

U understand that u are making me re- asses my Hough Chekassky preferance? The live Chekassky is better than the studio Cherkassky on Youtube. The Cherkassky is more strictly 'Godowskyan' in-approach than Hough, but the hough is extraordinarely beautiful in it's own right. So 'BRAVO' to each. I'm glad we have them both.

yeah, he is the 'Bentley' among pianists- olde world sound coupled with modern pianists' power. he has it all.

The thing, of course is Cherkassky's absolutely inimitable sound.
Live recordings are so wonderful: the coughs and splutters, the creaking seats, the continuous hissing noise. One hardly needs a pianist - there's already such a wealth of sound!

Cherkassky always produced a beautiful full-toned cantabile and demonstrates what is missing from most of today's pianists.
