Alfred Denis Cortot was a Franco‑Swiss pianist, conductor and teacher recognized as one of the central figures of twentieth‑century musical life. Noted for his poetic readings of the Romantic repertoire, he was especially distinguished in Chopin, Schumann, Franck and Saint‑Saëns, and was responsible for critical editions of works by Chopin, Liszt and Schumann for Éditions Durand. A teacher of generations of pianists, he taught at the Conservatoire de Paris and in 1919 founded the École Normale de Musique de Paris; his interpretation courses and pedagogical works, including a manual of pianistic technique, had a strong influence on European piano teaching. As a chamber musician he was part of the trio with Jacques Thibaud and Pablo Casals, a landmark ensemble in the genre. He also worked as a conductor and concert organizer, promoting major symphonic and choral works. His recording career includes historic milestones, such as the first commercial electrical recording of classical music. Cortot’s career was controversial during the German occupation of France in World War II, leading to a postwar proceeding and a temporary suspension of his activities. He returned to concert performance and left a lasting legacy as a performer, editor and teacher.
