(Shura Cherkassky | 1981 | Live) Chopin group

[@suremate]

I don't usually listen to Cherkassky much, but I'm glad I listened to this. I can definitely hear the kinship to Hofmann.

Gorgeous, lets all vote for Shura

I had a Polish music teacher in 8th grade, who explained to me as if it was the most natural thing in the world that when Poland became its own country again after WW1, Paderewski played the piano the best, so they picked him as prime minister.

@@christian-johansson I cannot help the feeling that playing Chopin is dealing with politics: dignified phrasing, nostalgie, metaphysics... I keep on listening your post of Friedman to wash my head

They may have been on to something!
