Rare recording of Cortot playing Beethoven's first piano Concerto

Here's a rare recording I recently found in its entirety on YouTube - Cortot playing Beethoven's first piano Concerto! I feel this concerto is not heard as often as the others but it's quite wonderful and he does some interesting things with it:

Enjoy!
