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....

@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.

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.
