Dinu Lipatti - Mozart Piano Concerto No.21 Mov 1 B

[MaestroTJS]

For such an amazing concerto, it's odd how few great cadenzas have been written for it--most of them are really quite bad. This is one of the best ones, certainly, though it has a few modulations which sound a little out of place and occasionally sounds like Beethoven. Some parts are just brilliant, though! (Love the part starting around 3:34.)

[iacodosi]

I agree, this may be the best cadenza I never heart for the Mozart's 21.

Bravo Lipatti!!!

LIPATTI IS GENIUS !!!!!

[embenadorfinearts]

Most likely one the best version with Clara Haskil, amazing phrasing with instinctive deep thinking musical sense. A unique dynamic and impulse without not forgetting to breath with music. Thank you for posting this video.

I met a boy some years ago who looked like Dinu! (at 2:42.) His name was Aria! (iranian parents. He must be 7 or 8 now. Don't know if he plays any instrument. But he had a phantastic charisma.) (I used to joke with his parents and ask them if he was going to become an operasinger...) Odd that the two best pianists ever should come from Roumania! Congratulations to your country! (the other one of course Dinu's friend Clara Haskil. Whom he used to call "Clarinette"!)

Lipatti was really incredible!!!

All of you could find this wonderful cadenza in the Roberto Paruzzo's performance on Youtube.

[mlbenedict]

I love this cadenza. Is it Dinu Lipatti's original work? I'm in rehearsal with this piece and haven't much liked other cadenzas I've found and heard.

[marcbarbu]

yes.dinu lipatti wrote the cadenzas

[piedijon]

Yes, one cadenza for which I got the sheet music was terrible, and some other ones I have heard also sound bad and don't "flow." I like how this one combines different themes fluidly and seems to progress instead of being a jumble of random exerts.

[Verityseo]

Dinu was a wonderful composer, studied with legendary teacher Nadia Boulanger(le six) in paris.

[thonkee]

the greatest cadenza ever written.

his playing is beyond belief.

i have this recording.

pity he died so young.

@thonkee Superlatives like 'the greatest ever' are too common on youtube (what about Beethoven 4, 1st movt?), but I'm having trouble thinking of a better cadenza in a Mozart concerto. Inspired.
