Wonderful performance, in my opinion more expressive than Marguerite Long. Gerard Parmentier version is also extraordinary, perhaps slower than usual but full of depth and sensitivity.
a vc q pois o videos Parabens !!!!!!! Pela essa bela homenagem a maior de todas as a brasileiras !!!!! Na qual tepresenrou esse pais de maneira brilhante no exterior . Uma das mais belas homenagens obrigado por compartilhar conosco isso .
I adored her rendition of this nocturne. I think it is one of the most subtle. I do not care about ideologies except if they are represented in the artistic process. Should we have a New Nurenberg trials for the artists who accepted Soviet regime or Bush´s government?
Wonderful, in every way, an ideal for this music and this artist, in finding a balance of all the elements of this most elusive composer. I was so lucky to hear Magda aged 90+ in London, playing a varied program, with Faure nocturnes & impromptus....inoubliable.
une vrai ambassadrice de la culture francaise.....
Cortot aussi est incontournable pour le developpement des pianistes du monde entier. La recherche du son l efficacité et reduction des mouvements des doigts etc... Dommage qu il n avait pas la grandeur politique et son comportement est inexcusable. Je ne connais pas les details mais il y a certainement une raison pourquoi il avait du mal apres la guerre de se justifier... neanmoins sur le plan piano il reste tres important et inoubliable
This is indeed a fine performance, having line, repose, textural clarity, and a sure sense of stucture. Thankyou for drawing my attention to it. (When was the recording made? - it doesn't sound that old.)
She recorded Fauré works when was young, but this recordin was around 1973 or 1976...she was more then 80 y old. Magda Tagliaferro played until 93 y old and with verve, excellent techinique, she had a strong personality and I saw her once, It was a magical experience. You can see her in a video playing Saint-Saëns concerto 5, she was more then 70 and had a enourmous powerful. She was a very beautiful woman.
Yes, it´s true. But she used to say that Cortot was his ¨master until nowadays¨, until her last year of life. And, curious, Cortot falled in lovve with her. ;)
Yes, Marmontel fils died rather young...unfortunately. Cortot was a great teacher and an incredible musician. I have serious issues with his serving under the pro-Nazi Vichy regime, and with his all-too blatant anti-Semitism, (his treatment of Lazare-Levy, whose son later died in a concentration camp, was particularly reprehensible) but I cannot deny his impact on world pianism. Tagliaferro, from what I have read, was quite a femme fatale! I am sure Cortot was not the only one enamored of her!!
Comme pour bien des figures de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, il est toujours délicat d'affirmer qui a été Nazi et qui ne l'a pas été (et pour des pianistes disons l'être jusqu'au bout des doigts ?!). Il est évident que les positions de Cortot étaient avant tout celles d'un opportunisme alla Laval (voire même alla Karajan).
L'antisémitisme de Cortot peut-il être affirmé ? Je dirai "oui" peut-être, sans relativiser bien sûr, mais comme chez un nombre importants d'intellectuels de l'époque (en suivant les témoignages de Perlemuter et de Haskil, tout deux unanimes); Etait-il nazi ? Pour sûr non, à l'évidence. Juste un opportuniste de premier ordre qui faisait fi du sentiment de l'espérance de la Résistance.
En tout cas, il reste un fabuleux pianiste au même titre que sa grandissime élève Magda qui nous livre ici une fabuleuse interprétation de ce Nocturne.
Oh que oui Magda était magnifique ! Sur les vidéos que j'ai fait d'elle, j'ai pu utiliser une photo d'elle lors de sa 27ème année !
The triplets at the beginning of the piece are out of time

Une version magique à l'image des pouvoirs pianistiques de l'immense Magda !

I have read that Tagliaferro also studied with Marmontel fils. Is this correct?
