Alfred Cortot: The Maligned Pianist Who Saw the Big Picture



This video is Alfred Cortot's performance of Chopin Etude no.1 op.25. It's sublime and beautiful and lyrical. It's like flowing water. It sounds melancholic but it does not give you that feeling. You feel like a small boat being rowed with no sense of urgency but with a certain placidity of thought and inner meditation.
