At the Paris Conservatoire he studied piano with Decombes, one of Chopins last pupils, and then with Louis Diemer, winning a first prize in 1896. Immeditely he was heard and admired as an interpreter of Beethoven's concertos at the Colonne and Lamoureux concerts, and he also appeared with Eduard Risler in concerts of two-piano arrangements of Wagner's music In 1898 he was appointed first as a choral coach, and then as assistant conductor, at Bayreuth, where he worked until 1901 under Mottl and Richter. This experience enabled him to prepare and conduct the first Paris performance of Gotterdammerung (May, 1902) and a notable Tristan (June, 1902). His Societe de Festivals Lyriques (1902) was followed by the formation of a concert society for which he conducted the first performances in France of Parsifal ( in concert form), Beethovens Missa Solemnis and Brahms Requiem, as well as still unpublished works by Chausson, Magnard and Roussel. In 1904 he was entrusted with the directions of the concerts given by the Societe nationale and also engaged to conduct the series of Concerts Populaires at Lille. This activity as conductor, which made Cortot one of the leading figures in French musical life before he was 30, did not dampen his enthusiasm for piano although it inevitably limited the number of

He was the last exponent of a personal, subjective style that deprecated precise technique in favor of intuition and interpretation. This approach was replaced by the modern objective and scientific way of playing, which places logic and precision at the forefront. Cortot was an artist and a law unto himself. To enjoy his playing one must first come to terms with his idiosyncrasies. Modern ears may find his playing cavalier, willful, approximate, and even sloppy.

Extractions: NAXOS 8.110612 (B) (ADD) TT: 60:58 Alfred Cortot (1877-1962) was a pianist in the grand style, idiosyncratic to the extreme, a superb technician who seldom found time to practice. There is a sense of improvisation present even in his recordings. His lapses in memory are legendary. Sir Thomas Beecham said, describing an episode of forgetfulness when accompanying Cortot, "We started with the Beethoven, and I kept up with Cortot through the Grieg, Schumann, Bach and Tchaikovsky, and then he hit on one I didn't know, so I stopped dead." Don't expect note-perfect performances in these grand interpretations, Cortot's only recording of the Chopin Second, recorded in 1935 with an anonymous orchestra, his third of the Schumann (the first was an acoustic made in 1923, the second an electric made in 1927 all conducted by Landon Ronald). I can still remember when very young (many years ago!) listening repeatedly to the second movement of the Chopin (Victor Album M 567) marveling at the incredible sensitivity combined with bravura in this performance. Both the Schumann and Chopin receive impetuous readings that command attention. Barbirolli often conducted concerto accompaniments (he had recorded the Chopin Second in 1931 with Artur Rubinstein ) and copes admirably with Cortot's waywardness.
