| |  | Tchaikovsky & Grieg - The Original Piano Roll Recordings
Grainger enjoyed a duo career as a concert pianist and composer. These recordings, taken from
piano rolls, allow us to sample the uniqueness of Grainger’s musicianship and skill.
For those who have not experienced these piano roll recordings, this is a highly
recommended starting point. “Insightful and affectionate performances of the rarely-heard Norwegian Folk Song arrangements of Grieg are a particular delight here. Grainger's Tchaikovsky is equally discerning.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Recorded: BBC Studios, London, 21 April 1963 / 15 December 1964 “Chopin’s B minor Sonata is worth close attention, particularly regarding Cherkassky’s phrasing and projection of the first-movement second subject – very beautiful, without spoiling the inherent momentum of the music….Overall this is a distinguished performance which was well worth issuing, as was the rest of the programme on this very well-filled disc”. International Record Review, September 2007 “Cherkessk was the most mischievous of pianists, but on this disc he demonstrates the breadth of his range with a wonderful Berg Sonata, a poignant Chopin Third Sonata, and grand Brahms in the Handel Variations. A master.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
