Chopin Nocturne F# played by Pugno,Risler and Cortot

Because this video compares three pianists performance of the same composition, and viewers are apt to prefer one performance rather than another, I have disabled the rating system. But please comment!! James Methuen-Cambell writes of these recordings, "A comparison between his (Risler's) reading of the Nocturne and that of his colleague Raoul Pugno (1852-1914) raises an interesting question concerning the tempo. Pugno on his recording for the Gramophone & Typewriter Co. opts for a much slower speed than is usual and in a book of written lessons explains that his teacher, Georges Mathias a Chopin pupil, had told him that this familiar work was generally taken too fast' Well, Risler was a pupil of Emile Decombes, a Chopin disciple, and his tempo is very much faster and of the sort that one is accustomed to hear today.Alfred Cortot's (also a Decombes pupil, Ed) recording of the same piece confirms Risler's choice." I would assume that Pugno's performance (1903) of this nocturne, is the first.ever recorded.
