Lipatti is one of very pianists who have the whole package: perfect technique, unyielding emotion, yet unparalleled taste. And his tone is always so warm and full

[boraboradisco]

Lipatti had something absolutely unique,it is extremely rare and incredible to be able to combine such a limitless technic and infinite soul,Mozart,Schubert,Bach and all the others would have be shocked to know someone did understood...he knew he had only very little time left that day and he played literally like there is no tomorrow,breath taking !

@boraboradisco it was the soul set free from human bondage...

Mit Bravour gönnt Lipatti einem der dramatischsten Mozart-Sonaten eine unübertroffen perlende und variationsreiche Spielfreude, die niemals unter dem Pedal leidet. Dem entgegen setzt er wunderschön die unterschiedlichen Kantilenen des 2. Satzes und endet überzeugend schlüssig mit der so wichtigen Leichtigkeit als Auflösung im 3.Satz. Zum Glück einmal die gesamte Sonate und nicht nur virtuose Selbstbefriedigung. Wunderbar!

It is playing like this that makes our stay on this planet easier.

Ariel Hirschfeld wrote that Lipatti solved the riddle of how to play Mozart on the piano,and I am in complete agreement.

Frank Martin said of Lipatti's playing-"moments of eternity."

@pianopera My pleasure!

Why such tepid applause upon Lipatti's entrance? Are European audiences so cold? His playing is phenomenal, of course; I'm told he was almost too weak to climb the stairs to the stage at this recital. He died shortly afterwards, an incalculable loss to the music world.

@billyguns2 There is some unpublished audio from this recital that has rapturous applause with cheers. There were only 300 people or so there, and Lipatti looked quite unwell, so I suspect that the atmosphere was not initially conducive to such loud applause - there was apparently quite a heavy vibe in the hall. If you listen to the end of his Mozart Concerto at Lucerne, you can hear that the audience erupts rapturously, so it is definitely nothing to do with European audiences.
