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 *****
