{"product_id":"ambassador-auditorium-recitals-1981-1989-cd","title":"Ambassador Auditorium Recitals 1981-1989 [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShura Cherkassky (1909-1995) was a Russian-American concert pianist known for his performances of the romantic repertoire. He was one of the last pianists to come from the Golden Age of Pianism, whose playing was characterised by a virtuoso technique and singing piano tone. Cherkassky early on in his career earned a reputation for spontaneity, creativity, and technical perfection in his playing. His sound was unique and became almost instantly recognisable and was famous for never playing the same piece the same way.In addition to the standard virtuoso repertoire, especially that of Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff, Cherkassky also performed works by Hofmann, Hindemith, Morton Gould, Britten, Luciano Berio, Alban Berg, Stockhausen, Boulez and other 20th century\/contemporary composers.The stimulus of a live audience always produced a more compelling performance from Cherkassky than he would give in a recording studio. Presented here are all the recital performances, totalling over five hours, which he gave at the Ambassador Auditorium between 1981 and 1989, published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBallade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturne No. 2 in E flat major, Op. 9, No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturne No. 15 in F minor, Op. 55, No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndante spianato et Grande Polonaise brillante in E flat major, Op. 22~I.
