Video duration: 256 seconds

Another precious recording of Alfred Cortot - Chopin's Nocturne in E Flat Major No.2, one of Chopin's best known compositions. Recorded Two days earlier than the Previous Waltz recording - March 19th, 1929. Cortot's interpretation is just great...I can't even find a word to explain this touching emotion, even in the Webster Dictionary..
