Cherkassky's playing right to the end never lost its freshness and spontaneity. I had the good fortune to hear him live in recitals and concerto performances whilst a music student in 1960s London. I was in awe of his complete command of the instrument, and not least the beautiful sonorities he was capable of achieving. Cherkassky truly belonged that great Russian romantic school of pianism as represented by Rachmaninov, Friedman, Moiseiwitsch and Horowitz. A much missed master of the instrument.

and speaking about singing on the piano let's not forget about people like Sokolov, for instance. Volodos beside him is just a boy, in terms of sound.

@@МаринаАкимова-к7ж Nah! Sokolov's sound is harsh, brutal. No refinement.Volodos' penetrating sound is unmatched. His sonority is superior to your favorites. No chance. Btw..you might consider waxing and cleaning your ears. Plus a course in aural awareness. You need it!😛
This is a treasure! He played even more "old-school" than his teacher, Hofmann. I love it. He has been for many decades one of my very favorites. Thanks much for this.☺

Yes, Cherkassky had his own way with Schubert and I have always adored his playing. I dont think he enjoyed interviews though, as he never liked talking about music. 'I just play the way I play,' he once said.

Cherkassky's interpretation here of the D899 Impromptus is my favorite! Especially the second impromptu, with the left hand with the mixed-in rubato.

I wonder if the lady in the winter coat with Shura is his mother or his wife of two years? I believe I saw the picture on the Chopin Mazurka In D major comparison video - 10 pianists. I didn't realize that Scubert's pieces could be so beautiful. I'll have to listen to these again, especially the 2nd and 3rd pieces..

He did get more attention towards the end of his long life in the UK, Japan and the US. Why one artist is more popular than another equally gifted cannot be easily explained. The mystery of art and personality.

@Mazzel Tov I don't know if he was much better, that is something we can debate about forever but yes definitely better at marketing himself and pulling the audience along to another encore. I remember that at live concerts of his. Funnily enough I also think like you that he was more intelligent. I remember that very thought dawning on me when I first heard Richter. I think Rubinstein had that extra intelligence (maybe architectural or numerical intelligence) to take the whole work, piece and piano playing, literally in his stride.
