Their musicianship, artistry, sense of style, and imagination all combine to deliver a performance of unique intensity and humanity from these two musical legends. Surely such playing will resound through the ages.

This is glorious music making at the highest level, revelatory, passionate, supreme! I cried.

Great artistry. I don't know any pianist today who plays like Alfred Cortot played. His style is very insightful and intensely musical, idiosyncratic and probably unique. One feels that sometimes his feelings mastered him, to the extent that he sometimes missed notes. I love listening to his performances. Thibaud is also a master. His slurring from one note to another to emphasise feeling was a pre-war style. It fits this music perfectly.

A perfect example of the French style, now all but lost. The violin is light, elegant, especially in its upper register. The piano is played from the top down.

Superb! I'm so glad we still have this recording.

[Sofronichrist]

La plus grande interprétation de cette œuvre, sans conteste.

Why so few views? Why so few upvotes, for this classic work in this historic performance by two consummate artists?

The melody of the fluent violin that continues as if it is about to break is beautiful. Thank you~^^
