EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and charismatic figure of Alfred Cortot, the Swiss-born pianist and conductor, as he sits at the piano in deep concentration during a performance. Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1877, Cortot is considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, renowned for his expressive and emotional interpretations of the Romantic repertoire. He began his musical studies in Switzerland before moving to Paris to continue his training under the tutelage of Isidor Philips and Raoul Pugno. Cortot's career as a soloist and conductor spanned over five decades, during which he performed and recorded many of the most beloved works in the classical piano repertoire. He was also a highly influential piano teacher, with students including Maria-Theresia Lachner, Vlado Perlemuter, and Gina Bachauer. In this photograph, taken during a live performance, Cortot's intense focus and passion for music are palpable as his fingers dance across the keys. The image captures the essence of his artistry and the magnetic presence that made him a beloved figure in the world of classical music. Cortot passed away in 1962, leaving behind a rich legacy of recordings and students who continued to carry on his musical legacy.
