As usual, I let out horrifying howls about those last notes, but this pianist easily puts some of these big name people to total shame with ridiculous facility. He is not doing any "interpreting", but seems to be improvising on the spur of the moment and therefore sounds so convincing...
@fredericfranc i have tried to swap the video file with a longer one but it didn't work. i think the only way will be to delete the post and repost a longer version.
@Barbapippo the video has 10 more seconds. Unfortunately youtube choose to kidnap them. I will make another one and make it 1 min longer...maybe we'll get the ending right :)
I can go on days and weeks just listening this... I've played piano since I was young but my real obsession with classical music was entirely due to his recordings.
This mazurka might easily have been called Chopin's ballad nr. 5. There is so much story in it and Lipatti conveys it to us in such a convincing way...
This is one very "gifted" video. =p

I've been listening to a lot of the YouTube Lipatti files.
I had forgotten how undistorted, direct, clean ... and, well, perfect he was.
Usually I like a bit more 'personality' ... but there's so much flow of life here that I'm seduced.
As always.

Nobody played (or plays) this tone poem for piano the way Lipatti did...the greatest of all Chopin's Mazurkas

@LutzKranenborg
I couldn't agree more. When I first heard this piece played by him, I actually thought I was listening to a ballad.
I've heard no other interpretation before that.
