An episode of The Music Treasury with host Gary Lemco and guest Mark Ainley of The Piano Files discussing the art of Russian-born pianist Jascha Spivakovsky. Despite a brilliant career spanning over six decades until his death at the age of 73 in 1970, Spivakovsky produced no commercial solo recordings. It was only 45 years after he died that private tape recordings made in his Melbourne music room were released for the first time, attracting the attention of piano connoisseurs worldwide. In this episode of The Music Treasury, Lemco and Ainley present a variety of these recordings while discussing the artistry of this unique musician.
