Cortot always brings something new to wellknown pieces. It is interesting to compare his expressive kind of playing with the frenzy Enrico Pace puts into his. Both continue to amaze me with their skills.
a Paris la tradition Liszt et Chopin transmis par Cortot continue de faire de cette ville la capitale de la musique romantique et dde la technique moderne du piano.
Les changements causé par la politique pendant la deuxieme guerre mondiale et d apres guerre ne pouvait pas detruire cela. Faiblir oui , detruire non. Cortot etait incontournable comme techniquement et musicalement. Horowitz passait le voir comme toutes les grandes pianistes qui voulaient apprendre...
A performance of direction, energy and grandeur (aided and abetted by some lower octave additions) - but doesn't he have an odd way with the split chording at c.3'.20" etc? Most interesting - thankyou.
Agreed...to compare Cortot with Pace is to do discredit to the former.
