Book Contents 内容简介
Shura Cherkassky's life story, like his piano playing, isprovocative and captivating. At his death in 1995, Cherkassky wasconsidered one of history's greatest pianists, as well as the lastdirect link to the Romantic piano tradition of Chopin, Liszt, andAnton Rubinstein. Cherkassky's story merits telling not only forhis musical achievements but also for the inspiration he providedby demonstrating tenacity, integrity, common sense, and uncommoncourage. Cherkassky began his concert playing life in UkrainianOdessa at a time of lethal civil strife. Escaping with his parentsto America, the child prodigy came under the tutelage of famedpianist Josef Hofmann, whose unfailing personal and professionalassistance continued for more than twenty years. Cherkasskyovercame poverty, prejudice against his Jewish origins, andunhappiness from his ambivalence over his homosexuality to forge animpressive touring and recording career, an enormous musicalrepertoire, and an intriguing personality both on stage and off.From his sensational 1923 American debut tour to sold-out concertson six continents, Cherkassky retained his brilliance throughout aseventy-five year professional career. As a close friend for hislast twenty years, author Elizabeth Carr traveled with Cherkasskyon tour, attending recording and rehearsal sessions and watchinghim practice, plan programs, and cope with pianos, acoustics,conductors, and orchestras. Her role as confidante results in akeen understanding of Cherkassky both as a human being and aperformer. Through observations, anecdotes, sixteen pages ofphotos, and personal correspondence reprinted in the book, thisbiography offers extensive research never before published, and anintimate look at the man and his music.
