  • Interesting but a bit odd interpretation

  • I think that Cortot with his magical mastery intentionally give us an ironical interpretation of the drawing-room musical gender that is the Walltz ! Listen what happen to chopin 'walzers played by Rachmaninov !

  • Could you kindly date this recording of Op 70 no 1 - is it the 1943 recording? I am unaware of an earlier recording but I rememeber, or misrememeber, the 1943 recording being different to this one in one or two respects. Thank you very much.

  • Sorry there is no recording date on the His master voice label.

  • he does play this valse like a mazurka which is absolutely great. Here liberties are not excentric emotion but controlled emotion within a strict structure. Anyway we have here the survive of a brillant 19th century interpretations stile....

  • permit me please I am of different oppinion.

    

  • @happygolucky2000 I am sorry but your very strange opinion is not shared by any musicolgist on earth

  • @StellasMousiki sorry but he is not the greatest interpreter. I find his playing quite offensive to tell you the truth. He doesn't seem to have any real sensitivity for chopin.

  • in chopin music cortot is better than other great pianist runbistein included He is the best!

  • cortot is the best in chopin

  • this is pure poetry.

  • y is he putting accent in those places

    hail moriz rosenthal

    hail grunfeld

    perhaps Ignaz Friedman
