This is the last concert of Lipatti, who died at 33. The doctors insisted again and again to not to give this concert, due to its poor state of health as it was in the terminal phase. He played the Bach 1º partita. K. 310 of Mozart, two "Impromptus" by Schubert, 13 Chopin waltzes. He can´t play the 14th Chopin Walts for the extreme fatigue, so he chose to finish the concert the first piece he played in his life, when he was only 4 years. Lipatti died playing her first music on the piano
Bach joué par LIpatti c'est juste l'art porté à son plus haut point..C'est divin, ça remue votre âme.Quel touché, quel puretés...La quintessence de l'art musical...
Sorry, you're wrong: It's true that Lipatti didn't have the strength to play the 14th Waltz by Chopin, and played Bach "Jesu joy etc." instead (as a farewell. He knew he had to die soon). But the recording here is from july 1950. His health had been temporarily "boosted" by injections of hydrocortisone (funded by an array of secret admirers). After two months, his health finally deteriorated. (As always, when you use medicine in raw form! Yes, I'm a homeopath!!)
Lipatti had the very special destiny of becoming world famous after his death. And becoming world famous by playing "unoriginal arrangements". Only music mattered to him. His motto was "The ur-spirit, not the ur-text"! (hard to translate!)
This selection was my introduction to Dinu Lipatti. It sounded as if no fingers were not touching the keys and only heavenly music was reaching my ears. After finding out who he was, I then acquired his records and concerts, one by one.
I still think he has the best fingering technique of anyone .
I cannot say if it is his interpretation that hits and moves me so much, or the awareness he died so young just few months after this recording, or the sweetness of Bach, or everything mixed together. I read once that music looks like a long explanation, and I do think it's true, especially with him.
For information this was not from the last concerto, because a the end of the show when he plays this cante, the man whos was in charge of the recording did not record it ( Dinu was suppose to play a valse from Chopin but was too exhausted). This was record some years before Dinu died. Anyway, thisis just beauty et perfection..voice of angels...
Thanks so much for posting this! To me, this is the essence of Bach: he's an eternal flame burning in the darkness, a flame of joy and beauty that never goes out. May we always have his extraordinary music, as well as performers of great genius like Dinu Lipatti. Best, M.R.
I fondly remember my first hearing this recording 40 years ago. As a keyboard player, I have never forgotten how it changed my understanding of musical performance.
one of the important events of my childhood is when my uncle and aunt drove over, and he palyed ( on the Ibach upright ) this piece with considerable skill and feeling .
Aftre that I could be proud of my family.... I mean what he did was surprise , and unite us on Xmas eve . Ever after I wonder how much rehearsing he had done. I´ll never know.....
Never to say about this performance. So it seems. But have you ever heard Michael Jackson on "Will you be there"? That`s one line, one feeling! Can`t expöain it, but it`s a miracle. Wondeerful and unconsciouness!
Bernstein once said: "There is only good or bad music!" Nevertheless I'm a little offended to read MJ along with J.S.Bach!
Bach, Mozart and other genius have passed the test of times. I'm quite sure Lipatti wil pass this test too. (With MJ I'm not so positive ...) Thanks to Fe.Mendelssohn we can all listen to the work of J.S.Bach! :D

Dinu Lipatti was a great Pianisi roman. He composed music for piano, was a professor at the Conservatory of Geneva, remains a great pianist and even if it disappeared from an early age so remains in the heart of music lovers who have had the opportunity to listen to wonderful concerts.
yes Lipatti will never be forgotten as his interpretations are the best existing, he couldn t record a lot but what is left for us to listen is pure and perfect. A musican with heart will always to this...
Unfortinatly no my dear. Fot the good reason that when he plaid it at the end of the performance , the man who was in charged off the recording had forgoten to record it. So that's why the last piece of Dinu's last show is lost for ever..
Dios vio que el hombre estaba triste y dijo "hagase la música del alma", y entonces apareció Bach. Es algo tan exquisito esto.Dios mío, se puede llorar de tanta felicidad.Muchas gracias, amigo, por compartir esto.Que Dios te bendiga
Esto trasciende toda division entre los hombres, toda religión y todo sectarismo, todo credo, toda falta de fe en la Humanidad. Esto es musica, es alma, es la demostracion mas cabal de que somos capaces de tocar el cielo con las manos, de que somos capaces de volar.
Makes me think of a child singing at times. There's something terribly undisguised about the articulation of the voices in this, definitely faithful to its choral origins.
you are missing my point and i wish you better aim from now on.
I am talking about how confidently lipatti handles the melody. when you hear a grown up sing they will start to add vibrato, shape the phrase, with a more or less pleasing result, but either way to show their awareness of the technical qualities of the music. again, it can be good or bad. it's the same....
...with pianists and the use of rubato or affected dynamics. the point is to develop the phrase but needless complication can be the result. pretty much all pianists are occasionally guilty of this as you need a god-like personality to do it all right.
a mi Bach no deja de impresionarme, la pasión según san mateo y san juan, air, fuga en re menor, sus nocturnos, esta obra maravillosa, es definitivamente el mayor genio con que ha contado la música, el mayor.
i have listen to Gould's Goldberg, Rachmaninov's Chopin Nocturne, this piece played by Bronfman (Live)....But only this clip can brought me tears...the first to have tears after listening music in youtube....Lipatti is a true Master, everything sounds so simple, there are no other reasons except he is part of music....
I quite agree with Poulenc's summation of Mr. Lipatti. Is this not divine? There is no trifling showmanship, or ill-advised romanticizing about these performances...such excellent hierachizing of the accompanying melodies to the dominant, melodic ones. The full extent of his skill is offered to the work so that its oft-hidden spirit actually begins to soar over its usually blinding precision and patterning. What a gift! Thank you so much for posting!
very much of richter's bach interpretations of some of the wtc preludes and fugues. the same wonderful singing tone, the unhurried contemplative pace, the complete lack of selfish technical display, but rather the pianist's complete devotion to the purity of the music.
No, I hate this not. This is the true. Lipatti is the modern pianist of piano history with Richter, Pollini ecc. Play the piano like God if He compose music.
Somebody asked on what instument was played this. It was on a Steinway, in the last concerto he performed in Besancon. This was actually the very last piece he played on stage.
This is a studio recording made several months before his last recital. In a tragic twist of fate, the man responsible for the recording of his last recital forgot to turn the recorder back on when he played this as an encore. The loss is posterity's....

i learned piano and i could say that dinu for is one of the best if you like that piano have or re touché than now that period was marv"ellous if you think that dinu was suppoted nby friends and mostly by violonist yehudi menuhin due his severe sickness dinu was under cortisone
period of arthur rubinstein, clara haskil, mandowskya Wi
Excellentissime version, ce doit être la transcription de Myra HESS (si je ne me trompe pas ).Le géni à l'état pur : une version claire, simple sans artifice mais que c'est beau...
Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude! Throughout all ages, this piece by Bach is, and shall remain, a priceless hymn of praise. Thank you for this fine piano interpretation.
Dios nos tiene en cuenta siempre, por eso nos envió interpretes como Dinu lipatti, martha argerich, franz Listz,yehudi menuhin, heifetz... y creadores como Bach,Mozart, Pachelbel, Mendehlson,Bramhs,...
Ellos vinieron, crearon , nos ayudaron a sobrevivir a tantas adversidades con su mùsica que el mundo sin ellos hubiera sido tan enormemente gris.Gracias, Dios por mandarnos al mundo mùsicos tan caros a nuestro espiritu,Y gracias tb a ALEX por compartir
niewielu jest dzisiaj pianistów którzy potrafią tak odzwierciedlić klimat baroku w muzyce Bacha jak czynił to lipatti,dziękuję Ci Dinu za tak wspaniałą muzyczną przygodę
Wonderful Lipatti!Thanks for this video. There's an unknown pianist who playes Bach-Kempff Siciliana very well. I think he merits.(please see him on seven65's channel).
Lipatti was one of great pianist of the last century, the best ever on Bach I think, sadly I think sometime people forget him (like Colomon Cutner) , sublime.
Para los que entieden español, este fragmento de Julio Cortázar: "Mientras tanto, había muerto en París Dinu Lipatti, demostrando una vez más la inexistencia de Dios o su incurable frivolidad" (Rayuela).
It is just peace and beauty, it was the same in the past, years before I was born as it is now or in the future, when I will join him in heaven, or hell, it does not matter where as long as I will still hear him playing :)
This prelude was arranged for piano by Myra Hess. Wonderful performance of Lipatti... this was part of his last performance, which he played in Becancon in 1950, less than 3 months before his death. At the time of the recital, he was so exhausted by illness, that he could not play the Chopin waltz no. 2, one of the 14 waltzes scheduled for that evening; instead, he gave this breathtaking interpretation of one of the most divine cantatas in history.
Yes and No. The cantata was played as encore in Besançon and not recorded. This is perhaps the studio recording of 1950 in Genava.The sound is like siciliano.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
birds dont sing they just push sound out of their tiny quivery and shaky voice boxes misses i think im philosophical even though all the pretentious supposedly unanswered questions you think are so deep can be easily trivialized by the TRUTH so boom shaka boom
birds dont really "sing" what you hear is a defence mechanism to protect their next .. killa how you give death stares .. yeah thats what birds are doing .. its not polite to relate a song as beautiful as this to birds fighting ... you make baby jesu cry :'(
J ai entendu beaucoup de versions de cette cantate:au piano,au violon,avec orchestre,avec une chanteuse..mais aucune n approche celle de Lipatti.Son piano se suffit a lui meme,seul le piano de Lipatti semble avoir compris la purete de la musique de Bach.Ce qui confirme qu une partition sublime n est rien sans un un grand interprete.Le touché et la sensibilité de Lipatti sont uniques,on atteint le divin...
Lipatti Lipatti Lipatti...Quand il joue Bach on dirait un ange,il est au paradis maintenant...Il nous reste sa musique mais n est elle pas hors de notre portee...Si le divin existe vraiment n est ce pas Dinu Lipatti jouant cette cantate de Bach(je crois que c est Goethe qui disait de Bach "entretient de Dieu avec lui meme juste avant la creation")...Tout est dit...Ecouter et reecouter Lipatti...
This is the last concert of Lipatti, who died at 33. The doctors insisted again and again to not to give this concert, due to its poor state of health as it was in the terminal phase.

the only reason that i will be sad if i'll die is that i could not listen to Lipatti interpretations.

ati incercat mormon tabernacle choir?
tot asa, cineva zicea ca e mandru sa fie mormon, dar ei cantau haendel.
n-are a face, muzica buna n-are nationalitate.
(adica toate imnurile nationale sunt de kk? hmmm...)

What can I say beyond thank you, for posting this? Lipatti's rendition of these pieces is unlike anything I've ever heard.
Heavenly indeed!

Excellentissime version, ce doit être la transcription de Myra HESS (si je ne me trompe pas ).Le géni à l'état pur : une version claire, simple sans artifice mais que c'est beau...

Dios nos tiene en cuenta siempre, por eso nos envió interpretes como Dinu lipatti, martha argerich, franz Listz,yehudi menuhin, heifetz... y creadores como Bach,Mozart, Pachelbel, Mendehlson,Bramhs,...
Ellos vinieron, crearon , nos ayudaron a sobrevivir a tantas adversidades con su mùsica que el mundo sin ellos hubiera sido tan enormemente gris.Gracias, Dios por mandarnos al mundo mùsicos tan caros a nuestro espiritu,Y gracias tb a ALEX por compartir

niewielu jest dzisiaj pianistów którzy potrafią tak odzwierciedlić klimat baroku w muzyce Bacha jak czynił to lipatti,dziękuję Ci Dinu za tak wspaniałą muzyczną przygodę

Wonderful Lipatti!Thanks for this video. There's an unknown pianist who playes Bach-Kempff Siciliana very well. I think he merits.(please see him on seven65's channel).

Lipatti was one of great pianist of the last century, the best ever on Bach I think, sadly I think sometime people forget him (like Colomon Cutner) , sublime.
And this is a mono recording.

Para los que entieden español, este fragmento de Julio Cortázar: "Mientras tanto, había muerto en París Dinu Lipatti, demostrando una vez más la inexistencia de Dios o su incurable frivolidad" (Rayuela).

Too bad there isn't a better audio quality of that legendary last performance.
ovinel 3 years ago
This prelude was arranged for piano by Myra Hess. Wonderful performance of Lipatti... this was part of his last performance, which he played in Becancon in 1950, less than 3 months before his death. At the time of the recital, he was so exhausted by illness, that he could not play the Chopin waltz no. 2, one of the 14 waltzes scheduled for that evening; instead, he gave this breathtaking interpretation of one of the most divine cantatas in history.
viosnake 3 years ago 4
Yes and No. The cantata was played as encore in Besançon and not recorded. This is perhaps the studio recording of 1950 in Genava.The sound is like siciliano.
GiovanniEMB 3 years ago 2
I know that, of course. What I meant was that this piece was part of his last performance, not that it was recorded on that particular occasion.

birds dont sing they just push sound out of their tiny quivery and shaky voice boxes misses i think im philosophical even though all the pretentious supposedly unanswered questions you think are so deep can be easily trivialized by the TRUTH so boom shaka boom

birds dont really "sing" what you hear is a defence mechanism to protect their next .. killa how you give death stares .. yeah thats what birds are doing .. its not polite to relate a song as beautiful as this to birds fighting ... you make baby jesu cry :'(

J ai entendu beaucoup de versions de cette cantate:au piano,au violon,avec orchestre,avec une chanteuse..mais aucune n approche celle de Lipatti.Son piano se suffit a lui meme,seul le piano de Lipatti semble avoir compris la purete de la musique de Bach.Ce qui confirme qu une partition sublime n est rien sans un un grand interprete.Le touché et la sensibilité de Lipatti sont uniques,on atteint le divin...

Lipatti Lipatti Lipatti...Quand il joue Bach on dirait un ange,il est au paradis maintenant...Il nous reste sa musique mais n est elle pas hors de notre portee...Si le divin existe vraiment n est ce pas Dinu Lipatti jouant cette cantate de Bach(je crois que c est Goethe qui disait de Bach "entretient de Dieu avec lui meme juste avant la creation")...Tout est dit...Ecouter et reecouter Lipatti...
