He has a great Franck VS as well, although I can’t stand Thibaud’s contribution to it. We talked a little about it here a year back or so.
I actually like some of his late performances too, even if they’re often like this cracked antique vase someone has tried to glue back together again.

I like the 1950s recordings of Schumann that were suppressed until being mistakenly released in the GPOC set, and then of course in the complete box. Also his 1950s Schumann concerto and 1940s Chopin 2nd concerto with Fricsay and Mengelberg, respectively. Also a fascinating Beethoven PC1 from this period, in which he strangely skips the cadenza (I think he just trills it).
I also like the late live Chopin recordings. Also the late ballades.
So yeah I like late Cortot, even though his technique went down the toilet. He’s much more impulsive and unpredictable, and does some neat things with bass doublings which I am always fond of.
I wish more of his Beethoven sonatas got released, I’d love to hear his take on the late sonatas, even if only half the notes are accurate.
