- SHURA CHERKASSKY AT CARNEGIE HALL IN 1993 PLAYING BALAKIREV'S ORIENTAL FANTASY ISLAMEY. HIS ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE IS TREATED TO FOUR ENCORES BEGINING WITH ANTON RUBINSTEIN'S KAMMENOI OSTROW, RACHMANINOV'S PRELUDE OP.2 NO.3, GOULD'S BOOGIE WOOGIE ETUDE AND FINALLY SAINT-SAENS arranged GODOWSKY 'THE SWAN.'
Playing of this order would be admirable for a professional at his/her peak in their late sixties. There are very few who have maintained such a degree of mastery and endurance in their eighties. A phenomenal pianist.
BALAKIREV:
00:01 Islamey op 18
RUBINSTEIN:
09:11 Kammenoi Ostrow
RACHMANINOV:
16:40 Prelude op 3 n 2
GOULD:
21:01 Boogie-woogie etude
SAINT-SAENS/GODOWSKY:
23:51 The swan
Remarkable playing at any age, but at 84 years old - astounding.
Just the beauty of his playing the lyrical sections make this often banged and hysterically abused piece have its own stature
hofmann taught him well
Здорово!!! Невероятно!!!
И рояль звучит,как оркестр.
Браво,МАЭСТРО!
Ваши записи нужно слушать
и переслушивать.
Светлая Вам память!

Благодарю вас,автор канала!
One should consider that he was 84 at that Time! What a phantastic physical presence!
Seeing Shura Cherkassky perform live in Christchurch New Zealand back in the 90s changed my perception of music and piano mastery. I give full credit to this great man for the piano and piano music still being very much a part of my life today. His interpretations of many works are ones that I always return to as they truly are all about the music. He was a true virtuoso in the sense that although his technique was phenomenal, it was only used as a way of serving the music
i know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Kasen Yusuf lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Chris Miles Yup, been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Chris Miles thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!!
@Kasen Yusuf you are welcome xD
Wonderful! Old world!
Amazing! after Islamey I love the way he nonchalantly springs from the piano. They dont mak'em like this anymore.
Yes, and then delivers four delicious encores! And always with the full-toned sound and cantabile touch.
FABULOUS.
Shura was an absolute phenomenon; Nobody played like he did. His phrasing, touch, tone, technique it was all unique! Look to his fingers; it's like he is modelling the keys as clay. Read his biography: The Piano's last Czar by Elizabeth Carr (www.scarecrowpress.com) His life was sometimes very sad. He was only happy when playing the piano
Yes I have the excellent biography by his close friend and confidant Elizabeth Carr. He was lonely in his private life - see the TV interview in Holland that I uploaded.
@@piano345 Yes I know about that interview! And there are more interviews taken in Holland; One after his performance on the Grachten festival in Amsterdam in 1992, and when he went back to his native town Odessa in 1995, Just a few months before his death. These interviews are all on You Tube. He played many times in Amsterdam. After he replaced Azkenazy, he was almost every year invited by Impresario Mr. Riaskoff in his famous series of great pianists.
VIRTUOSO!
BRAVO, DEAR SHURA !!!!!
Amazing pianism at any age.?.but here as a senior citizen!!!!
WOW !!!
A great performance by a great artist that studied under Josef Hofmann. The next to last encore, Morton Goulds Boogie Woogie Etude is quite sensational.
Newyork Steinway/~
Compared to the Hamburg, the best NY model D Steinways can often really have something special in my opinion, especially in the bass and in fortissimo where they seem to have a bigger, more snarling, less metallic sound. I don't know if this still applies in 2018.
