His passion for Chopin betrays something of the scholars dedication refusing to use the old Fontana editions of the Waltzes and preferring instead his own reading of the original manuscripts but Chopin is the least amenable of all composers to the relentless rigour of typewriter accuracy. While countless others are forgotten, Cortot (and his wrong notes) are remembered. So is Magaloff, and his unsparing, clear-eyed vision, continually sharpened and refreshed by many complete Chopin recital series in the musical capitals of the world: this is intrinsically live Chopin, ever alert to his melancholy undertow and yet never indulging the Romantic excesses of yore.
