Cortot gave his last Copenhagen-recital in 1958. According to reviews, only his below-eyes dark shadows were left of his playing!! But this recording is amazing!
-
What's wrong with it? Cortot is possibly the greatest pianists of all time. I personally think he plays this incredible musically well. Who cares about the wrong notes and such?
-
Just disgusting. Can't be worse. Cortot has completely lost tempo here.
Are you sane, those who admire this poor performance?
Pick you ears!

I've heard this piano concerto yesterday and I fall in love, such a beatifull pice

Did not know before that this existed. Sound quality is even better than many others! For me as Cortot fan of old, it is interesting to compare his interpretation with a recent one from George Li (pianoloverok). Will he, who is still so young, one day reach the same level of mastery? Dinu Lipatti once held the same promise.

Favourite interpretation.. Besides Serkin's..

Wow ! I dislike C. simply because so many others have pointed to what I never hear except in the Franck solos. BUT HERE IS A TRUE REVELATION . Why does no one else play this personally . R. S e r k i n is very different too ! But this way is the most imaginative I've heard . My fave new recording of the Schumann.

Very personnal and poetic interpretation.
I don't mind the wrong notes.
Don't forget the conductor in your comments: Cortot is not playing alone.
This is one of my favorite concertos of all time. Cortot's playing here is, not surprisingly, immensely profound. Thanks for another great recording.

Le culte de la technique pianistique nous donne une foule de
pianistes qui n'ont aucun intérêt. Cortot, malgré toutes ses erreurs , est toujours intéressant , poétique , captivant.
