- The great French pianist Alfred Cortot's magnificent March 8, 1932 reading of Franck's Prelude, Aria, et Final in a superb transfer offered by my subscriber Tom Jardine from the Victor M163 set.
This recording captures Cortot's luscious sonority beautifully, enabling us to hear his rich tonal palette, subtle pedal effects, wonderful dynamic range, and magnificent nuancing (what extraordinarily fluid phrasing), with that inimitable rubato that is immediately identifiable. Glorious pianism, more readily discernible in this remarkably full-bodied transfer, better than any commercial release I've heard of this performance.

Fantastico ❤❤❤❤❤❤Giuseppe
Non è necessario "correre" per suonare il pianoforte 🎹 ❤❤❤❤❤❤Giuseppe
I happened upon this delight while looking for something new (to me) to learn. What beautiful, expressive music exists for us to enjoy. ❤️
I was exposed to this wonderful piece in the brilliant modern recording by Hough. It's fascinating to hear it in the hands of an elder master.
This was mine too! I love Houghs rendition
Magistrale!!!!!! Rest in peace Grande Maestro Alfred Cortot ❤❤❤❤❤❤Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
Took my breath this morning. Thank you.
Alfred Cortot:" Un poeta al pianoforte"❤❤❤❤❤❤ Giuseppe
Masterfully rendered with poetry and atmosphere. Not just notes.
Una preghiera ❤❤❤Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
Beautiful ! Thank you very much :)
La migliore e più poetica interpretazione che conosca.
Prova a sentire anche quella di Cristiano Burato....
The final movement is quite detailed and dramatic in this performance compared to what I've heard in any other recording.
TY very much for the beautiful upload
La poésie à l'état pur ! La polyphonie au zénith... Le rêve au firmament...
Il pianoforte 🎹 è uno strumento che canta (Vladimir Horowitz)❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Giuseppe

This is enchanting. Was it indeed recorded on a Pleyel as the photo suggests?
I can't confirm that... just chose the photo because it's a great one and from about the same era ...
It certainly doesn't sound like a Steinway to me...
... and no Érard either.
Might be a Bluthner - waiting for confirmation...
Bryan Crimp has confirmed to me that the session sheets state that this was a Bluthner!
Franck是位mystic,因此演奏他必須進入他的體驗世界中，即形上界，這跟Bruckner的演奏是同一個道理，Cortot之於Franck,正如Celibidache之於Bruckner,將我們帶入其玄思界，這物質界之起源，gnosis
Ma questo signor Franck!
Maravilha
Questa esecuzione è una carezza ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
yes in the thirties Cortot made wonderful recordings and from these recordings we can understand why so many famous pianists did study with him although he did not teach at the national conservatory but had to open his own school. he was switzerland born. today we can appreciate these recordings which disappeard from the recordshops after the second world war when Cortot had to leave france to finish his life in switzerland. Cortot represents the " elegance francaise ". no other pianist was so french. Cortot did form pianists like Clara Haskil, Dinu Lipatti, Eliane Richepin, and even Vladimir Horowitz went there to discover the secrets of Cortots technique. Cortot was minister of culture during the Petain governement .
Christian Kircher After two weeks he ceased the lessons with Clara Haskil (she was ca. 15) saying: there is no thing that I can teach her
Thank you for this information.
@The Piano Files - Cortot was NOT french. He was Swiss. Correggi la descrizione per piacere
He was born in French-speaking Switzerland to a French father and a Swiss mother. He spent most of his life in France as one of that country's most prominent musicians. He could be called French and Swiss.
Mais cette musique, cette interprétation, ainsi que le son et le toucher sont 100% français ... Ne vous en déplaise !
admettons que les environs de Tournus (France, 71) sont dans la grande couronne de l'Helvétie et n'en parlons plus !
'Glorious pianism' - a bit much....this is highly overrated. The Final is quite sloppy. It is astounding how many fall for this display of mediocrity and consider it 'wonderful' and 'magnificent.'
It seems to me like you're mostly hearing the mistakes. We hear the emotionally profound narrative, the tonal control, the myriad of colors, the phrasing, the inimatable mastery over rubato, the superb balancing of disparate elements into a cohesive whole, I could go on... Great pianism is about so much more than playing cleanly.
@@Marsmallos Sorry - but he is adding to this music in ways Franck did not indicate and he is subtracting from Franck's actual markings. He is even bringing out secondary voices - for a short time - and then abandoning them in the middle of the phrase. I would add - he is filling out octaves in the left hand with arpeggiated chords and adding lower octaves where they should not be. Franck knew EXACTLY what he was doing. And I don't care much about the sloppiness. I am reminded of Horowitz's butchery of Mozart's K. 488. Mozart just wasn't good enough for him so he took it upon himself to rewrite the piece.

hai ragione. Prova a sentire Frank suonato da Cristiano Burato
