As a pupil of Josef Hofmann, he had an impeccable pedigree, but we tend to forget his long career meant he was already playing and recording in that 'golden age'. Here then are these early recordings, complete for the first time, starting in the acoustic era with the young prodigy's 1923 Victor discs. Much of the repertoire is unique in his discography, including his only recording of chamber music - the Rachmaninov cello sonata. The Tchaikovsky 2nd Concerto, Cherkassky's earliest concerto recording, has never previously been reissued and reveals the 36-year-old artist at his virtuoso peak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shura Cherkassky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40625884594247,"sku":"43790142","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4408834-3332387.jpg?v=1739706468","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/beethoven-l-v-chaminade-hubert-complete-78-rpm-recordings-1923-1950","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
