Alfred Cortot plays Chopin "Barcarolle" Op.60

WOW! Эта хорошо!

Great performance, thanks a lot for posting this video.

Please delete the ridiculous comments having nothing to do with the video.

It pains me that someone must read them when listening to Cortot.

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.

I just learned that you can still read those comments that are thumbed down to minus 6 or less...by clicking on the "reply" option.
Btw, thanks for not deleting these completely useless and idiotic discussions, there are most amusing to read! ;-)
(But of course, you shouldn't combine it with listening to the great Cortot)

Agreed! ):-0) Who could imagine that this sort of trash could find its way into such a forum! By the way, what an incredible performance by Cortot of the Barcarolle! When was this recording made?

just simply beautiful...although his technique was criticised by Rubenstein and probably others...he was Magic

So, I take it from all of these comments by Asian and western pianists (I assume that's what you guys are [forgive me, if I presume without studying the comments exhaustively]) that the single most devastating compliment a classical pianist can be paid is that they performed a song "adequately"... ? You see, these are the sort of problems you WANT to have. Myself, as an amateur piano player (I'd never use the word "pianist"), I could only dream to play "adequately".

Fucking morons,why don't you just listen to the piece and keep your dirty mouths shut!

Karajan no es tan imbécil como usted.
