I figured it would be fun to upload this for comparison with the other Ballade No. 2 video. Recorded July 6-7, 1933.

  • What is the comparrison?

  • @leedaasianboy not much really. There were some complaints about mistakes in the other recording (and that it made it less enjoyable), while this version is a bit more held-back in the Presto section, and has a lot fewer mistakes. So for those who can't stand mistakes this might be easier to focus on the general idea of Cortot's interpretation. idk I just figured I'd have both recordings up here since I am a big admirer of Cortot in any case

  • The tale of the Switez lake...

  • The right hand tenuto is brighter in this one.

  • Chopin is a great composer. It's interesting that he dedicated this to Robert Schumann when Schumann named a piece of his suite Carnaval after Chopin.

  • This is amazing. I love the part where it suddenly goes loud, it's just a nice surrise, especially when people are trying to go to sleep on the nice soft part...then BANG

  • Very nice playing of that piece. It is always cool to follow the music just to see how really impossible these pieces of music really are!
