Unique account - never just speed but beauty of tone, colouring and shading of dynamics. True virtuosity.

[@Hyramess]

He plays these studies -- not as bombastic, death defying feats of pianistic prowess by which a player proves his mettle -- but with a certain delicacy, much nobility and grace. These are musical expressions full of character, unique insight and aristocratic elegance. A virtuoso second to none, but more than that a MUSICIAN.

Cherkassky weaving his unique mercurial magic. He represented a past golden age of mid-20th Century pianism.

Beautiful, original, witty and poetic! (a bit of J. Hoffmann's spirit still alive in Shura's playing...)

Sympa... un grand coloriste dans l'histoire du piano. Et bien éloigné du "broyeur d'ivoire" - dommage pour la prise de son qui ne suivait pas à l'époque...
