Alfred Cortot (piano)About
This gave the artist new freedom, as he was not restriced to the length of a 78rpm side for each take, and Cortot tackled much of his ‘big’ repertoire again. Sadly, by this time his failing health meant that many works remained unissued as they did not meet the standards of his earlier magnificent versions, however some did stand the test of time, as can be heard in the Carnaval featured here.
His playing may have become technically more fallible but the performances fully support the claim of the late Thomas Manshardt, one of Cortot's last pupils, that this period of Cortot's career "is his greatest in thought and warmth and mastery".
The booklet contains a discography of all Cortot’s HMV sessions from 1953 to 1955.
