Alfred Cortot: Chopin Waltzes Op.69, Nr.1 ("Farewell Waltz"), Nr.2 (5.1943)

...stupenda !!!!

Cortot is just amazing when it comes to perform Chopin pieces, he is yet aristocratic but restricted, yet sad but emotive, he really capted the soul of the master´s music, this video is unvaluable, thanks for sharing!

I know Chopin is supposed to be the tour de force of Cortot but the farewell waltz as played here isn't.... His Schumann is much more poetic...

[ChopinXVI]

Some pianists fail to capture the person and feelings of Chopin, but Cortot indeed does a splendid job.

Magic.

I personally believe Cortot is the closest we will ever come to knowing what Chopin himself sounded like at the piano.

There's something in his blood.

[ChopinXVI]

@PhillipLWilcher If what you say is true, then he's a great friend of mine!

[PhillipLWilcher]

@ChopinXVI It is my thought and belief, yes.

i like the PLEYEL. I believe it represents Chopin's music more :) it is somehow a romantic piano. maybe thats why Chopin preferred Pleyel !

@develish16 If you are looking for a romantic piano check out Bösendorfer
