One of the greatest tragedies of 20th century music was the death of Dinu Lipatti at the age of 33. Had he lived a full lifespan he would have been the century's single greatest pianist. He and his fellow Romanian Clara Haskil were Cortot's best students. Both of them musicians par excellence...each different, but with that impeccable technique and poetry of the very highest order. Time may dull the recorded sound a little, but Lipatti's Waltzes will never be surpassed.

@ctsit I totally agree. he belongs to the true Romantic tradition of the 19th century, like Artur Rubinstein (another of my favorite pianists) This means he plays the waltzes with superb passion but also grace. He does not overuse tempo rubato as so many pianists do these days. A tragedy he died so young.

Really, who plays like this anymore? Simply nobody. I have studied this instrument all my life and have never heard anybody with a lighter, more elegant tone, and a finer sense of timing and overall timing. It is so inspiring to hear him play. He defies any rules, and pedantic approach.
He really is beyond anybody I know. Fantastic!

A magnificent performance. What a tragedy that he should have died so ridiculously young!

@99hoolio Yes, altho I do appreciate Lipatti very much and because he is a Romanian as I am, I think Lang Lang's version is played much more liltingly, as a waltz should be played....Dinu plays it too fast.

I adore Dinu Lipatti very much and I consider him as one of the best pianists that ever lived.
I still have to critizise the Fontana's versions Lipatti used in stead of Chopin's's! And I'm so used to Artur Rubinstein (whom I prefer) ... :D However I agree that Lipatti had his own style and an angellike way to play! So thankfull that I got in touch with his playing by a gift of my cousin!

@bsschmitz My memory may be faulty, but I believe that Chopin's favorite among his waltzes was the one in A minor Op. 34, no. 2.
Lipatti's version, a beautiful one of course, is here on YouTube.

Brilliant.Dinu Lipatti was a romanian clasical pianist. He is one of the finest pianists of the 20th century. He was composer Too, who wrote in a neoclassical style with romanian influenses. Thanks awfully for posting.
