SHURA CHERKASSKY “WIZARD OF THE PIANO” •Dominion.” What C. N. BAEYERTZ the famous j critic thinks of SHURA CHERKASSKY — “Musicians have been amazed, not merely by his exuberant technique, his subtle feeling for rhythm, his infinite variety of tone graduations, but most chiefly by leason of his glowing sympathy, his sanity and his transcendent, emotional, and intellectual maturity. During the week, he has played for us the CJopin Sonata in B flat minor as no other pianist has played it heretofore in Sydney His playing might well cause the most sceptical to wonder whether, after all, there may be something in the theory of reincarnation. It would be easy to write columns in praise of Cherkassky; sufficient to say that, although a pupil of Hofmann, his interpretations are his very own. He has vision, and the power of intellect, not merely to seek truth and pursue it for himself, but also the tenacity of spirit which cleaves to and assimilates the truth when he has found it, and steadfastly refuses to be blown about by any wind of cheap effect of false emotionalism. A Wunderkind, truly, but vastly more than that is the great little boy whom we are privileged to hear yet again this week.” TOWN HALL DIRECTION: e. j. gravestock ltd.
