he does play this valse like a mazurka which is absolutely great. Here liberties are not excentric emotion but controlled emotion within a strict structure. Anyway we have here the survive of a brillant 19th century interpretations stile....
music is so much formated today that people do not know how to appreciate it any more. Alone "sports" performance is acknowledged and instrument wins in potency to the detriment of musicality.
I think that Cortot with his magical mastery intentionally give us an ironical interpretation of the drawing-room musical gender that is the Walltz ! Listen what happen to chopin 'walzers played by Rachmaninov !
@StellasMousiki sorry but he is not the greatest interpreter. I find his playing quite offensive to tell you the truth. He doesn't seem to have any real sensitivity for chopin.
Could you kindly date this recording of Op 70 no 1 - is it the 1943 recording? I am unaware of an earlier recording but I rememeber, or misrememeber, the 1943 recording being different to this one in one or two respects. Thank you very much.

Toda,..oh..today!!!
Music,art,sensitivity,sense of beauty...all is fainted in ashes...
music became a list of technical rules;art,a nonsense without any spiritual basis;beauty...an object to buy and sell...
Our reality's reflection:the total collapse of the civilization..
