...I just heard this done by Rafal Blechacz who presumably has some credentials...and everybody says how smooth he is, but where did the music go?...Chopin forgot to include it in his text or what?...but with Dinu the music just jumps at you...should have recorded like the Manhattan phone book before it disappears because of the Internet, there is some "text" for you, Dinu would have musicalized it just great...

I could never imagine that such a magnificent wonder would ever happen. OmG, You converted me. I'm healed. This wonder is real !!!

@Barbapippo Thank you!For pointing the "i' and dotting the "t".I couldn't define the feeling...
Lipatti is not playing the piano,as an instrument,he's breathing the air and living the life,pure and simple and effortlessly...

Goodness! This is perfection...

Wonderful interpretation by Lipati but unfortunately the instrument sounds metallic to me. I guess I've become addicted to the superior sound of Lisitsa's Bosendorfer.

Perfect. Clean, solid and expressive at the same time.

With Ivo Pogorelich, this is the best performance of this piece! But I kinda have to give Pogorelich an edge since on the youtube clip he plays it live :) But still both are amazing. Btw. I would love to hear Richter play this!

@steamednotfried Yeah right. xD
-
The recording is too old ---- sounds a bit honky tonk! Listen to Pollini

He lets us hear things in the left hand that we NEVER hear from other pianists. Unique.
Lipatti was the greatest pianist. Had he lived longer, he would have eclipsed all the others.

Lipatti set standards of quality . Have not found yet a better interpretation after him (before maybe...) . He was one of the best pianists of his time and would have been as famous as Richter or Rubinstein if he would have been able to continue his career. He left us too early. His last concert in Besancon is legendary and will never be forgotten....
