Alfred Cortot - Chopin: Etudes. Op.10 & 25 - Japan CD

Alfred Cortot

Description:

The "Classical Masters" series records Alfred Cortot, a master of the 19th-century romantic performance tradition, with its unique fluctuating tempi and extensive use of singing. The music is very different from contemporary performances (as of 2014), and while the music is free and unrestrained and moves along with the emotions, the variety of nuances in the details and the depth of the style are very much in tune with the times.
