CHOPIN: 24 Preludes / 3 Impromptus (Cortot, 78 rpm Recordings, Vol. 1) (1926-1950)
A multi-faceted musician, conductor and chamber music player, Alfred Cortot was renowned above all as a pianist. This Naxos re-issue is the first of five volumes devoted to Cortot’s 78rpm era recordings of Chopin, featuring at least one version of every published Chopin solo work the pianist recorded during the period. As Cortot recorded many of these works several times over, the emphasis will be on versions which have not been reissued as frequently as others. For example, on this first disc the 1926 early electric recording of the Op. 28 Preludes has been chosen over the more commonly-known 1933 remake.
