MAGDA TAGLIAFERRO playing Fauré Nocturne n.6 op 63

[tucupinotacacah]

Perfeita, enfática, vigorosa interpretação.

We are lucky to have a number of very fine and very different interpretations of this beautiful piece on YT,(Long,Ferber....). Here's yet another, fascinating & authorititive. Magda T. emphasises lines & rythmic logic,(perhaps over stressing a little?)rather than melting harmonies. I prefer a tenderer reminiscence in the final phrase, but there's no doubting her view of Fauré as a strong musical figure. Very fine playing in filigree decoration.

Tagliaferro was a very important Cortot´s pupil and was a friend , dispite of the difference of the age, of Fauré, who liked her interpretations of all nocturnes; besides he gave her advices how to play his works. She was brlliant and played until her death, with 93 y old. Wonderful Magda!

This is indeed a beautiful performance of this masterpiece. I also love Marguerite Long's interpretation of this work, posted on Youtube.
