@kandutery Thanks. In fact Chopin fans should just type ''Chopin Perlemuter'' to in YouTube search and listen to each and every piece which show up... Every Chopin piece he recorded represents the most effortless, subtle and profound internpretation there is... Please search...
He plays with his heart. That makes a huge difference compared to other versions (and there are many). To paraphrase John Keats, Lupatti spreads his soul on the keyboard. Who knows what was going on in his head when he was recording this masterpiece? maybe his illness and all the suffering and incertitude it was causing him? I'm maybe over-dramatising, but his playing inspires me something profound.
There's been the Second World War two years before. Not every details were known at 1945. Besides, how to express accurately an empathy for mankind after those events ? It's not so obvious !
Well, Horowitz was a phenomenon, at times a show-off, with an uncontrollable temper. Lipatti always seemed to be more genuine, always to the heart of the music to communicate the composer's wishes, without his ego ever getting into it.
Dinu Lipatti is in my opinion, the pianist that best interprets Chopin's music. He was flawless. What a short and sad life, he deserved many more years, but at least we have these few recordings that I treasure. His execution leaves you speechless.
Yes thank you, I have been looking for his music for several years and it seems I never got the correct spelling but it is great and just purchased ten of his CD's. My father had told me if he had not died so early and for it was not for Horowits, Dinu Lipatti would have been the ulime 20th century pianist.
If you look at all the pieces that Horowitz has played are very technical if you have played piano you would know what I am saying & Dinu Lippatti over all is an amazing pianist but listening to many of his pieces & to Horowitz, I think Horowitz out plays him.
Horowitz is a master of Chopin, Chopin was a pianist and I have not heard any of Chopin to be played better than anyone other than Horowitz. But that does not say what you say is incorrect, we all have our own preference.
Many people, like Rubinstein and others, are thinking that Mr. Horowitz play not Chopin but Horowitz. Perhaps this is incorrect but My Question is: Why Horowitz has never played Concerto Op. 11, Nocturne Op. 27 n. 2, Sonata Op. 58, Valses Op. 18, Op. 34 1-3 etc.?
Horowitz was a genius, and a the most technical pianist in the world, what he could do & no one could imitate or duplicte are all pieces that were techincal, he also knew his limits on pieces that were not technical & required & needed what he could not deliver, if anyone had played a piece that he could not do better, he would not play that piece. Every piece is individual, you cannot compare playing of today & instruments of today to time of Chopin, I think he would have been amazed.
I respect your opinion, but you have to look hard to find any reference in classical anthologies or even general critique to Horowitz being a great Chopin interpreter. That is a fact, that's all.
I dont need reference, I have been listening to these people since I was born. I have never seen or heard anyone play chopin better.
Chopin was a pianist, he wrote for real pianist, how can probably the greatest of our time not inerpret Chopin? You may have listened to others that you prefer or got use to but listen, compare & see. All music is an interpretation & I think his was the best.
In my humble opinion, and I have been listening to these pianists all my life, Rubenstein, Lipatti, Cortot, Ashkenazi, and Novaes play Chopin better than Horowitz. I am not trying to say that he is not a great pianist, top 3 for sure. I just think that in the piano repertoire, he does not stand out like Heifetz stands out in the violin repertoire. He is one of the greats, that is all.
Musicians florishes in my family, I have spent years in conservetory studing and I honestly think Cortot is an ameture, Ashkenazi is ok, rather listen to Evgeny Kissin than them any day or Rachmaninov. Look it takes years & extreem hard work to get where these people have gotten, nothing taken away, I know but so many are 2nd rate it is hard to tell the difference, I see ten year olds that are amazing & far better than cortot. Listen to Valentina Lisitsa, great pianist, people like Karl Richter
I listen to so many pianist & been to so many competitions of Chopin, Tchaikovsky, they are all great. I listen to old & newer players like Raoul Pugno, Arthur Friedheim, Bunin, Annie Fischer, Olga Samaroff but none of them can move me, give me Goose pimples & take me where only music & your mind can. Sit & listen to Horowitz, I am not trying to sell him but his perfection, speed & domination of music & piano is nearly flawless, if he did not play a piece it was done better by another simple.
I own the Horowitz recordings that are better than all the rest. Radu Lupu and Alfred Brendel both play Schubert better than Horowitz. He is not the best at everything. When it comes to Chopin, picking a Horowitz recording does not even cross my mind. If you want to be moved, listen to Radu Lupu play Schubert. When you are done with that, listen to Dinu Lipatti play anything. You see, we all have opinions, but that is all they are.
It is not just my opinion but I am not the only one. We have different taste & ear. I listen as not just a player but experience for me, not to take anything away from you. you have a different taste. I will listen to your suggestion but I will tell you, I doubt I will like them as much but you never know. thanks for sharing.
I think that, among the great Chopin interpreters, Pollini deserves one of the first places: his etudes, Preludes, Polonaises, and also the sonatas, are simply superlative. Probably Pollini has not the same historical importance of, say, Cortot or Paderewsky or Rubinstein, but I think he is (slightly) better than, say, other great Chopinians of our days like Ashkenazy or Zimmerman

Lipatti: une subtile combinaison entre rigueur musicale, poésie infinie, le tout exécuté naturellement et instinctivement. Cela se nomme la Grâce.

Actually the best Chopin Lipatti ever did had to be the waltzes! If you haven't heard them, run don't walk!
