Composer:
Sergei Prokofiev

Artist(s):
Shura Cherkassky
Harold Jackson

Conductor:
Herbert Menges

Background: Shura Cherkassky believed in being totally spontaneous, meaning that no two Cherkassky performances of the same piece were ever the same. The EMI studio performance of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.2 with Herbert Menges from 1955 has never been issued on CD before.

The Shostakovich Piano Concerto No.1 licensed from EMI has also never appeared on CD before. Both the Prokofiev and Shostakovich are wonderful examples of Cherkassky's exceptional virtuosity. The short fill-ups, all taken from EMI sessions in 1956 and never before issued on CD, demonstrate Cherkassky's wit and stylish playing.
