Chopin Raoul Pugno Risler Cortot Georges Mathias Decombes 1852 1903 1914
Because this video compares three pianists performance of the same composition, and viewers are apt to prefer one performance rather than another, I have disabled the rating system. But please comment!! James Methuen-Cambell writes of these recordings, "A comparison between his (Risler's) reading of the Nocturne and that of his colleague Raoul Pugno +••.••(...)) raises an interesting question concerning the tempo. Pugno on his recording for the Gramophone & Typewriter Co. opts for a much slower speed than is usual and in a book of written lessons explains that his teacher, Georges Mathias a Chopin pupil, had told him that this familiar work was generally taken too fast' Well, Risler was a pupil of Emile Decombes, a Chopin disciple, and his tempo is very much faster and of the sort that one is accustomed to hear today.Alfred Cortot's (also a Decombes pupil, Ed) recording of the same piece confirms Risler's choice." I would assume that Pugno's performance (1903) of this nocturne, is the first.ever recorded.

Alfred Denis Cortot (26 September 1877 – 15 June 1962) was a Franco-Swiss pianist and conductor. He is one of the most renowned 20th-century classical musicians, especially valued for his poetic insight into Romantic period piano works, particularly those of Chopin and Schumann. Born in Nyon, Vaud, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, to a French father and a Swiss mother, Cortot studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Émile Decombes (a student of Frédéric Chopin), and with Louis Diémer, taking a premier prix in 1896. He made his debut at the Concerts Colonne in 1897, playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3. Between 1898 and 1901 he was a choral coach and subsequently an assistant conductor at the Bayreuth Festival. In 1902 he conducted the Paris premiere of Wagner'sGötterdämmerung. He formed a concert society to perform Wagner's Parsifal, Beethoven's Missa solemnis, Brahms' German Requiem, and new works by French composers...
