- SHURA PERFORMED THIS WORK AT HIS 80th BIRTHDAY CONCERT IN CARNEGIE HALL IN 1991. HIS INTERPRETATION IS GRANDIOSE AND LARGE SCALE ALONGSIDE SOME WHISPERED PIANISSIMO CONFIDING ASIDES.
AWESOME! ANOTHER WORLD..... nowadays people seems to have forgotten this EMPEROR..... I understand young corean talent or chinese or wherever u want... for example in the latest Cliburn 2022 you can read some real delusions..... the winner is very good, but all that decanting stinks to me since so far in the world of classic no such a large number of people have ever bothered to watch videos of the competitors .... let alone the great performers including SHURA for me the most outstanding! Now with social media everything is manipulated: they create DIVINITIES like AZZERANO reality...... we'll see but in the meantime I'm enjoying these PURE DIAMONDS OF MUSIC! thank you very much! 🙏👋👋👋
The fortepiano sounds like a harpsichord.... Shura is more than 80 years....unbeleivable...my God!
One of the greatest. I saw Shura Cherkasky live in Christchurch New Zealand in 1992
I didn't know that he played in N. Z. As you know, he loved to travel both for work and pleasure.
@@piano345 Especially Thailand lol
@@piano345 He performed in my city Christchurch in his teens. He had a strong affinity with NZ. At age 14 he performed in New Zealand and Australia. He travelled to those countries with his father
One if the greatest ever!! Period!!
I heared it in 1993 in St Petersberg, and its still unforgotable for me. This recordings is also unbeliewveable impressing, even without the magic feeling of live presence.
это уникальное явление в истории пианизма_Ш.Ч.👍👋🌹🎼
Thank you....thank you....thank you
i can't believe there is all of this film of s.c. WOW! still no way to tell how h e achieves his sound or voicings . Amazing to have these portraits of him and hofmann what amazes is that rach was so famous yet there is nothing of him in front of a pedal yet so many others made it oon film.There is even de pachmann and bauer.Lucky for whatever survives .Just seeing how they sat must be instructive for some.This chaconne is epic .Everything he does is compelling here.
14:46 Magnificent voicing!
GREAT INTERPRETATION!!! The best after Busoni.
Didn't realise one could listen to Busoni's recording. Though from accounts he was a stupendous pianist, vast in conceptions.
nice that here we can see somewhat his pedalings.
Soberbio!!
Great interpretation. Thank you for uploading this file
Yes - that was his 80th birthday recital at Carnegie Hall.
splendid and inspired performance What it must have be live... this recording does not do it justice. The singing tone it lifts au dela de ce monde!
A very good interpretation!
Старик играет хорошо! Если и медленнее чем надо, если и быстрее чем надо! Это допустимо для исполнителя!!!! Играй как душа позволяет...
Thanks for your comments. I also like his 1991 Carnegie Hall 80th birthday concert performance which was issued commercially. Cherkassky was born in 1909 and not 1911 so he was infact 82 in 1991. Amazing that his fingers were still so agile in his 80s.
He has a very unusual take on this piece...but I prefer de Larrocha (especially her 2nd recording), a unique interpretation which has never matched by anyone...
but this same identic piece was on Decca Record ?
decca 433-654-2 ?
From the very first chords - aaagh, how does he make that sound?!
Michael Cooper Because he is a student of Josef Hofmann.
GoodESP Justice I know he was. =)
He is voicing the chord by emphasizing the top note instead of banging all the notes down the same way as most pianists do.
Cherkassky always produced a rich full tone from the piano. He once lamented that pianists today do not think about tone quality. Not for Cherkassky the thin toned trebly tinkling we often hear from young pianists. Cherkassky like Arrau and Malcuzynski could fill a large concert hall with luxurious sound.
were Arrau plays this Busoni transcription he will not allow himself to implement two hands on the first several chords...
why can't i download this clip?
I have never down loaded from UA-cam so do not understand the problem.
Ma dov'è Busoni????
Why playing the whole piece "a tempo" ? Didn't he know that Bach was born the same year than Chopin and Schumann ?
I agree. I don't like this too much. All a tempo is a bit square for my taste.
I strongly believe that his style (tempo) are correct. Too many pianists take liberties with the tempi of all works. They are mistaken. The tempo/metre give unity and strength to the whole. I heard Cherkassky play Rach 3 live in London. He made the pianoforte sound beautiful. His Schumann Symphonic Etudes are one of the best.
Bach was born in 1685, Chopin in 1810 and Schumann in 1810. However, keeping the tempo is basic to all music, except where marked otherwise.
@@cynic150
Would you accept that I think that Bach is born in 1810 ? And that Brahms wrote another transcription of this work only for the left hand, showing that this music is desperate and not strong at all ?
@@Fritz_Maisenbacher It depends on which Bach you mean and what you mean by desperate.
terrible photography
Recorded 'live' in the hall - forget the film quality and listen to Cherkassky's wonderful performance.
