Le plus beau concerto pour piano interprète par the best!

[@joelkatz8729]

Utterly beautiful! It has the real ‘innigkeit’ of the Schumann style.

[@punkpoetry]

The one recording of this impossibly beautiful concerto I keep coming back to, even more than to Gieseking or Lipatti or the many other beautiful performances.

[@blonda.bacoviana]

I am so glad you listened to Lipatti. He and Cortot are my favorite so far. Did you also listen to Lipatti playing Enescu's compositions?

[@chad4149]

what a beautiful performance

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Que alegría !!!!!increíble una grabación de Cortot. Gracias.

[@richardresseguier1]

Les notes chantent merveilleusement bien, nuances, tempo, l'orchestre, musicalité, émotion, tout y est ... sublime!

4:40 this is absolutly beautiful

[@richardresseguier1]

Cortot et Schumann = génies

[@paulprocopolis]

A fine performance with both poetry and musical energy (though I'm not so keen on the grandiose way the finale commences!). Seeing the conductor's name reminds me of a silly joke I once heard: Why did Sir Adrian Boult? Because he thought Sir Henry Wood Land on Ronald!

[@snaaptaker]

+paulprocopolis Boo!! Hissss!!! Groan!! :-))

[@metrocammell1]

Not heard that joke since about 1934 !

[@tomamanojlovic6630]

Strangely enough, he was in better form during the Thirties than the decade before. His later recording - again with Ronald - is superior in every way.

[@snaaptaker]

What a difference from his later recording with Fricsay. Vivre le difference!! :-))

[@alombredeslava2468]

Très inférieur à son interprétation de 1936 en Uruguay, merveilleuse malgré un son déplorable.

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Sin Cortot no hubiéramos podido interpretar bien cuando menos a Chopin. Un Sabio. 🙏 Cortot 🌟🌟🌹🌹

[@richardresseguier1]

La photo n'est pas Cortot?

[@monsieurpichon3793]

Can someone confirm if this is the first recording ever of this concerto?

[@pianomasters3752]

Cortot recorded the Schumann concerto for the first time in 1923
