Presentation of the American Liszt Society Medal to Luiz de Moura Castro
“Trained in Rio and at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, de Moura Castro must have been fortunate in his teachers—he himself went on to establish a wide-ranging career as an educator, primarily in the U.S.—because there's a Golden Age sensibility behind his playing that can't help but remind me of Shura Cherkassky, among others.” Henry Fogel
