Cortot was indisputably a genius, a "beautiful musician", as Horowitz had termed him. His Bach and Mozart are truly radiant and possessed of very great depth, as is his Beethoven. Doesn't he look like a character from a painting by Rembrandt? This is playing of luminous beauty, emotive power, and raw spiritual honesty. His verbal prowess is marvelous, too. His speaking is like an accompaniment to the notes; it enhances our appreciation of the music he is making. Hats off to his artistry.

Then he describes all the passages and how they should be played.

Translation : "It seems to me, that the last piece "The poet speaks" -the title that Schumann has himself added to this immortal page- should be transposed to a mind of more intim daydream, isn't it ? Not only the beautiful sonority, the expressive way of the musical sentence, but a more dreaming feeling. The truth is that we have to DREAM this last piece, not play it. Would you let me your sit, please ? " etc... xD

even so, we must remember: cortot, wagner are first and formost Musicians no? whether or not they supported the nazis is somthing entirely between them and God now. pointing out what patboy1947 said about teh book written about wagner concerningteh readjustment ofteh jews to germanic culture-is this not what australia and many countries around teh world call for when immigrants travel and move to foreign countries??
