Substantial two hours worth of music. "A performance of the greatest virtuosity and elegance" Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13 Gramophone, Nov 1957 (original mono version issue) "[Beethoven, Poulenc, Chasins]…Cherkassky invests every one with enormous panache and wit. These are great performances that have more character in a single bar than the average modernday Wunderkind could find in a whole work…" Classical Source - mono version re-issue “First Hand's classily presented two-disc set… is a treasure chest of Cherkassky rarities. …these studio recordings have the same vitality and spontaneity as his live performances. …the Hungarian Rhapsody No 13 and the Faust Waltz (especially the stunning coda) are examples of pure pianistic joie de vivre. But above all... are the sheer beauty of sound, individuality of conception and musical imagination that Cherkassky brings to whatever takes his fancy. Required listening for all students of the piano.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Liadov - Solo Piano Music
‘A new talent has appeared in our midst, a genuine, thoroughly original, thoroughly Russian talent … he is bright and unaffected, he has boldness and power. Cui, Borodin and my humble self are delighted with him … as for his own scribblings, well, you will judge for yourself. Korsakov has been holding forth on them quite a lot.’ So wrote Mussorgsky of the young Liadov. And yet his works have remained little known. A Musical Snuffbox will be familiar to most listeners, but the majority of Liadov’s canon has fallen into obscurity, not least because the composer dedicated his life to indolence and seems to have been utterly without ambition either for himself or for his music. The two major piano works are the ‘Glinka’ variations and the ‘Polish’ variations; as for the rest of his output, it is of miniatures as finely crafted as they are few in number. “Exquisite piano pieces. Yet another winner by a pianist who is proving a worthy champion of Late Romantic Russian repertoire” The Scotsman “Scarcely anybody outside Russia looks at them these days, but, as Stephen Coombs eloquently establishes on this disc, they are gems” The Daily Telegraph “A sparkling collection of gems honed to perfection by a fine craftsman” Classic CD “A ravishing range of tonal colours and flawless sense of timing which constantly reduced this particular listener to putty in the master’s hands” Hi-Fi News | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
