DINU LIPATTI -BACH CONCERTO in d-moll (1)

[minasgekos]

One of my favourite pianists. I put him in my top 5 list along Richter, Gould etc... But this particular concerto, I can't get out of my mind the perfection of the phrasing of Glenn Gould.

[Cancion78]

A true Romanian artist!

shame the he died so early!

God rest his soul in peace!

[Jello31398]

anyone think of imma shine by youngbloodz?

[guitarmasterbogdan]

who is the conductor? and what orchestra is performing?

[pianopedia]

And of course thank you Bach!!!

[pianopedia]

thank you to those who pointed out to this incredible decrescendo Lipatti makes. It's so difficult to make a decrescendo on such a large span of time, of bars! Lipatti made it beautiful! I was listening to the music following the score at the same time, and indeed Lipatti makes this decrescendo bar by bar, on its whole course, never maintaing a same level of nuance but permanently diminuing it. Beautiful!

Incredible talent

[fredericfranc]

I was waiting for the castanets to move in on Mr. Lipatti and sort of grab him. Maybe the diminuendo because of these guys...

[Refamire30]

@glantz91 the "extras" at 1.14 and 3.20 or 4.07 etc. aren't Lipatti's invention. He just plays the Busoni version of the piece. Anyway, he does it in an extraordinary personal and sublime way.

[elaoana21]

he makes us proud to be romanian. thank you for the upload filippeo85!

[morvensky]

Very aggressive and energetic, I like that. However, I found it was not improvisatory enough (I.E. ornamentation)

[glantz91]

Hm, I find it incredibly wonderful and sublime!,

mainly because

it's way of improvisation!, e.g., 1'14 he arpeggiates

the continuo section (improvising!) octaves higher!!,,

or 3-20, hear!!

perhaps you mean mainly ornamentation, but I'm convinced he didn't like putting extra ornaments... (:

[leomulder]

I DIDN'T KNOW HE RECORDED IT.

[kkkY11111]

@leomulder OK

[d0oli]

funny how no one knew who he was even back 10 years ago...I knew how to play piano since a child but he's the reason why I became to love classical music... I just wish there were more recordings of his performances.

[deepbluelotus]

I love his piano solo music,especially Bach and Mozart,so I didn't expect this performance so much.

But I was much moved with this.

Modern,not Baroque

Sadness,not Happiness

It's the very music after WW2.

Génial Dinu!

[WelshSaddler]

I can't praise Lipatti highly enough - a truly great artist. I do find it interesting that in his "live performances" he sometimes took liberties with the score though, here he inserts loads of arpeggios an octave or two above Bach's writing!! (He did much the same in the Chopin PC No. 1). It doesn't detract from the enjoyment however, it adds to it. Markarama's comment about the decescendo is spot on, it sounds as though Lipatti is physically moving away from the hall!!

Dinu, never equalled.

[GiovanniEMB]

Extra notes on the score are not from Lipatti. This is a Busoni's arrangement.

[leongatha6]

@WelshSaddler Feltsmann often does the same kind of improvization, i.e. Bach;s 2nd Partita. It adds a personal touch, is in good taste, and Bach would have certainly enjoyed hearing such spontaneous musicianship; I always contended Bach was the first "Jazz musician" (improvisor).

[pvairo]

Pure genius.

[deandusk]

OMG !!!! where can i get these ?

[markarama23]

EMI released this on CD with the Liszt First and Bartok Third Piano Concertos in 2001 - it is also in a new box set of Lipatti recordings that EMI produced.

I love this performance. The decrescendo in the first movement is outstanding (6:39 to 7:01) - brings total silence to the audience at this concert!

[jpstenino]

@markarama23 Thank you for referring to the 6:39 to 7:01 section. It really helps to have focus points when listening to something this big.
