Where it came from
Released in 1979 under the Swiss label Ex Libris, this compilation features the distinguished pianist Shura Cherkassky performing a selection of works by Frédéric Chopin. The recording centers on some of the composer’s most emotionally complex pieces, including the dramatic Ballade No. 1 and the evocative 'Raindrop' Prelude. This release was part of Ex Libris’s broader mission to bring high-quality classical interpretations to a dedicated subscription-based audience in Europe.
Shura Cherkassky was known for a deeply individualistic and romantic approach to the piano, often favoring spontaneity and color over rigid adherence to the score. His collaboration with the label captures his mature style, marked by a nuanced touch and a fluid sense of phrasing. The recording is regarded by critics as a testament to his ability to treat Chopin’s repertoire not as museum pieces, but as living, breathing narratives, highlighting the technical and poetic depth characteristic of his later career.
