Oh my God! What a master! An absolute master! As a pianist myself, I am hymbled by his performance! What great insight! what technique! Cortot had the reputation in his later years of being sloppy with his accuracy, But here we hear him with a flexible mechanism, breathtaking conception, towering intelect, a real force of nature! I'm so greatgeful to have stumbled on this. If you have any more like this, keep them coming.

@vincecharus Agree! Nowadays interpretations have become ¨"globalized". Everywhere people want to play the same way!
-
yes. and above all the musicianship has gone backwards over the years in our communities..listen to the radio to current "pop" music..thats not very musically anymore, the most songs are monotonous and contain around 3 chords...
-
for sure one of the most important pianists of the 20th century
-
what a lesson learned just by listening to his phrasing...

@sukinorules there's no greater praise one can give to composer than loving and wanting to perform his or her music! All best wishes with your piano studies.

Look, I'm only a younger teen, so I can't express what I feel fully like the people who have the top two rated comments, but I can say this: I love this piece, and I cannot wait for when my abilities qualify for me to be able to play this.

Back in those days, everyone played differently, whether grandmasters like Cortot or music students or lovers.
Nowadays, with these circuits of competitions, recordings, concerts, etc., interpretations are standardized. If you don't play a piece adhering to a certain 'school' of interpretation, people think you're wrong. Instead of paying attention, people stop paying attention to your 'incorrect' interpretation.
In this sense, I think musicianship has gone backwards over they years.

Imagination, intelligence, nobility, virtuosity as a means of expression, honesty, so many colours... no barriers between oneself, the music one is playing and the instrument one is playing it on. This is what I hear when Cortot plays.
