  • I adore Horowitz's performance of this from the 1940's and Cécile Licad's much later, even more poetic and equally virtuosic interpretation, but both owe much to Cortot, whose lyrical insight and sense of fantasy remains incomparable.

    How tedious mere excellence appears in the light of artistry of this calibre!

    Greater accuracy and hard-edged virtuosity like Grante's are no match for this depth of feeling.

  • wow!!!i can t belive i found this interpretation......with Cortot!!!!!!!!thanks a lot!!!

  • @mobeck Yes, he adheres to 'the principal of the violation of expectation' and makes the music sound so spontaneous and fresh... :=)

  • This tells a story, a good interpretation, in good proportions original and convincing

  • No one plays Chopin better than this guy.

  • I think that ashkenazy's one is the best.
