The Swiss pianist Alfred Cortot was an artist of immense culture and intellect who recorded a rich and varied legacy for the musical world. Cortot studied with Decombs, one of Chopin's last pupils, at the Conservatoire de Paris. It was Decovbs who gave him his love for the romanticism of Chopin and Schumann. In addition to being a world famous pianist, Cortot was a partner in a most notable chamber trio with Pablo Casals and Jacques Thibaud, and he was an assistant conductor at Bayreuth. it was Cortot who gave the first performance in Paris of Wagner's Gotterdammerung. These recordings display Cortot at height of his romantic sensibilites and pianistic powers. From Abbey Road Station No. 1 in London, 1934, these historic recordings enshrine Alfred Cortot's playing which combined elegance with authority and masculinity with poetry. Restored by Mark Obert-Thorn.

    Subject: Alfred Cortot
    Date: Mon, 9 Oct 1995 Richard Sauer asks: Several posters persuaded me to invest in Furtwaengler-money well spent. Now I wonder if someone can do the same for Cortot recordings. In the past I shied away from the Furtwaengler releases because of the Penguin Guides. The 1989 companion to the main volume often, but not always, writes about Furtwaengler: "pulls the music out of shape", "distorts" etc. Moreover Penguin's editors weigh the sonics as heavily as the performance, so many classic performances get the kiss of death- a (*). Similarly, I have flipped past Cortot discs (Pearl) because of the cost, and the suspicion (unwarranted I suspect) that Cortot wasn't all he was cracked-up to be-"willful", "distorting". I know he drops a lot of notes, but so did Schnabel. Anyway: Why Cortot? and where does one start? Schumann? Chopin? or Liszt? NOTE: info shamelessly stolen from liner notes and Harold Schonberg's The Great Pianists . I'm sure there are other sources, but this is being done strictly OTTOMH.

    Nocturnes Op.62 and the second from Op.55). Mozart was a favourite, Beethoven less so. His attitude towards his contemporaries was ambiguous at best. He was cool towards Schumann, never reciprocating the latter’s enthusiasm for his own music. And his admiration for Liszt was tinged with jealousy. But perhaps the most important aspects of his personality were his insecurity and his indecisiveness (many letters to his parents in which he expresses his hesitation between going back to Poland to fight alongside his countrymen or staying in his new adopted home attest to this trait). This "folie du doute," his inability to make up his mind, actually permeates many of his works and is even reflected in his harmonic language, making him by far one of the most original harmonists of his time.

    Home Content Articles La Scena Musicale ... Search La Scena Musicale - Vol. 6, No. 6 Alfred Brendel - A Musical Paradox by Lucie Renaud / March 1, 2001
    C onsidering the phenomenal number of articles written about Alfred Brendel, it might seem futile — or at least not particularly useful — to take yet another look at this incomparable pianist. He is an artist whose peers hold him in the highest regard. He is a perfectionist when it comes to technique, and a musical interpreter of profound sensitivity. In fact, he challenges the standards, expectations, and unspoken laws of the classical music jungle and emerges greater than ever, yet able to maintain a disconcerting frankness and modesty. Brendel has a remarkably fine-tuned “ear,” not only when performing but with regard to life in general, and he leads parallel lives that are mutually enriching. He is a chamber player (he recently joined with baritone Matthias Goerne, to the delight of fans of the vocal art); he performs with orchestra (in April he will perform all of Beethoven’s concertos with Seiji Osawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra) and as a soloist (recitals in Montreal and Ottawa are scheduled for March and April). Brendel is also an essayist ( Thoughts and Afterthoughts has been providing absorbing reading for musicians and music-lovers for over thirty years); a new-fledged poet (his collection

    35. Paul Cadmus
    most interesting documents in this collection is a letter which Cadmus wrote toAitkin on a program for a recital given by the French pianist alfred cortot.
    http://archivesofamericanart.si.edu/exhibits/piano/cadmus.htm
    Paul Cadmus (1904-1999) The fondness Paul Cadmus felt for for his friend Webster Aitkin, the concert pianist, is evident in his letters. Cadmus often discusses mutual friends, painting and music, and expresses his admiration of Aitkin's musicianship. In a 1947 letter Cadmus muses, "I keep wishing: if only I were rich! Not for the money; just so that I could commission you to do K. 503 and a Weber concertoit mightn't be good, but I would like to hear itfor an invited audience: yours & mine." Aside from how he felt about Weber's concertos, Cadmus certainly had confidence in Aitkin's pianistic skills (developed through study at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, and with Emil van Sauer and Artur Schnable in Vienna) and an appreciation for piano literature. As he asks Aitkin in one letter, "So are you breaking, or by this time have broken the back of Eliot's sonata: How pleased I am; it implies a back and a bone to break. How rare! In these days when the anatomy of the worm is body enough for most composers."

    IN THE BEETHOVEN SET, French pianist Marguerite Long defies stereotypical French style, discarding light, airy cleanliness in favor of a bolder, more rambunctious approach to Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor.
    (Long, who was closely associated with Parisian musical life until her death in 1966, worked with and performed all of the major French composers of her day.)
    Those who have heard live performances by the Polish-American pianist Artur Rubinstein invariably contrast his work in the recording studio, however elegant, with his electrifying playing on stage.
    Clara Haskil Gieseking, remembered as an artist with rare artistic vision, plays the piece in a reflective, almost nostalgic vein. Haskil, the Romanian-born child prodigy, plays with an astoundingly beautiful sonority. The sounds she brings out of the instrument alone are worth adding this collection to the shelf. More from Andante: Brahms and Bach SCHNABEL AND SERKIN Scaling new heights UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITIES The level of risk taking in these recordings is immediately striking. Cortot in particular is ready to forfeit a note or two in favor of an overall concept.

  • So a composite video such as this one is for me a veritable treasure trove, a true legacy of a large proportion of the great piano playing of the 20 th th . The video available for purchase is narrated by John Tusa, but the same program as seen on PBS several months ago was narrated by John Rubinstein, son of Arthur. I was told by the producers that since the film involved many studios from many countries, the video exists with various narrations in different languages. The small booklet enclosed with the video has a text that follows to a large extent the line of the film; it has been translated into English from an article in French.
    There are also commentaries by a number of pianists, conductors and managers, including Piotr Anderszewski, Daniel Barenboim, and Colin Davis. Some of these are enormously sympathetic, such as Anderszewski, or very insightful, such as Daniel Barenboim, who describes each artist in a particularly characteristic way. Cortot, for example, he describes as follows: "I think Cortot looked for the opium in music. He looked for anything that was extraordinary; he always looked for something, not sickly, but something abnormal, totally removed from reality, and far from anything that could be construed as smelling of normality."

    After the Conservatoire, she followed her studies with Alfred Cortot, who, she once recalled in a TV interview in Brazil, showed her how to put her fantasy and imagination at her service when playing. She became a friend of the members of the famous Casals-Cortot-Thibaud trio and used to play tennis with them, accompanied Casals and Thibaud in concerts, played under Cortot's baton.
    Besides working as a soloist, Magda Tagliaferro had always a strong career in chamber music. The most powerful influence was violinist Jules Boucherit; she also toured twice with Geoge Enescu.
    Her youth in the flamboyant Paris was full of adventure: she recalled as being one of the first women drivers, of singing the part of Love in an open air production of Gluck's Orfeo. Among her recollections were walks with Ravel, always silent most of the time. She also met D'Indy, Poulenc, Milhaud.
    Among her friends was pianist Artur Rubinstein; once, she told it in a TV interview and in her memoirs, while they danced in Spain, he said ftattering that he wondered why he had never thought of marrying her but, instantly, said that he knew the reason: they were too much alike!
