Bach-Liszt : Fantasia & Fugue G minor BWV542 - Shura Cherkassky

[@meredith218461]

The diminutive appearance of Cherkassky belied a true piano titan. His unmistakable variety of touch, his originality and absolute mastery of the instrument assures him a place in the pantheon of piano legends. The clarity and subtle voicing of the Fugue from this majestic work is something to marvel at.

Wonderful! I remember the shiver of delight as the fugue launched into its cheeky sinuous dance, with voices of all types & registers joining in or interrupting rudely,to be tossed away for another confidential whisper; the music enjoying itself, chuckling under Cherkassky's fingers. Two of the hands applauding there are mine!

Absolutely brilliant performance!How on earth has it garnered so few views?!?

[@organboi]

This is really fantastic. Such expression and musicality. Bravo.

[@MarkHeller13]

This is a stunning performance, especially given it's live. The Fantasia is a little slow for my taste (but still beautifully played) but the Fugue is astonishing - the way Cherkassky controls the various voices and brings out the melodic lines is absolutely masterful.

Wunderbar gestaltet, dürftig durchsichtig, Hut ab!

This piece is already hard as hell on an organ, I don't even want to imagine what it's like on a piano. Very good performance!

[@matavidya]

Hoooray!!!!!! Bravo!

[@mattklammer5232]

Wow- what a wonderful live performance of this work. A very powerful,slowly building reading of the fantasy and most clearly articulated fugal playing. Truly great!

[@organboi]

It's not a reading. It's a performance.
