Commenting on a great pianists interpretation is so uprecise. How could you compare Rubinstein, Horowitz o Cortot? All of their interpretations are sublime. It's like making love to the most exquiste women born at my time. How can you discriminate one or the other if they are all sublime?All one can do is savor each and everyone of them. They all have their charms and specialities and yet they all interpret the same exquisiteness. They all make you "climax' with thier exquisiteness.

Dear redrothko,
I'm torn between natural desire to delete certain comments and leaving them "untouched". Upon consideration I decided NOT to delete them... Here are the reasons:
1. I don't want to be seen as a tiranic and anti-free-speech person.
2. Those moronic comments don't demean performer's greatness. They rather demonstrate intellectual and musical impotency of those "commentators".
3. Be pro-active: mark such "comments" as spam or thumb them down.

Cortot, hats off to you, big guy!

After recently aquiring an old acoustical recording of the Barcarolle bij Rubinstein (1928), I was surprised that in that time his interpretation was way below this one from Cortot. Grandiose and very emotional it is and indeed the sound quality is quite OK. I often postprocess old recordings like these myself with a little reverb ("middlesized room"). PS The Chopin Berceuse by Rubinstein I posted recently is fine.and emotionally much closer to Cortot than his Barcarolle.

Truecrypt, Thank you for uploading this magnificent performance. This sound is much better than other Cortot's record. Do you know when and on which label this was recorded? Unfortunately, due to their limited recording technology, many of those by Cortot sound very poor, despite his great performance. I just wonder how you can get this good sound.

@PaloAltoSea
May be YT compression technology makes it sound better? I noticed that YT adds some reverberation... Usually it's not so great but in this case we've got a winner! ;)
