Pianists explain why Alfred Cortot is one of the Greatest Pianists
Alfred Cortot is undoubtedly one of the most controversial pianists in classical music history. His erroneous notes, his outdated rubato, his approach to music that are too romantic and with different readings associated with other branches of art are quite unacceptable for today’s modern academic understanding and listener.

What makes Alfred Cortot’s art so special? I tried to explain this with the discourse of many important pianists. In this video, I used Cortot recordings from 1902 to 1953.
