If you think this performance is great, and it is, listen (if you can find it) to Lipatti's "live" concert recording with L'Orchestre de La Suisse Romande, conducted by Ernest Ansermet,recorded in Geneva,22 Feb. 1950. It was performed less than 10 months before he died. He was so weak that he could barely walk up the stairs to the stage. And yet this is one of the most powerful, passionate, and electric performances (of any piece) that you will ever hear.

I wish I could find it! Reading to your comment, tears in my eyes (; ;) Why can people shine at the very last moment of their life....

[WelshSaddler]

Superb performance by a pianist without equal. Excellent recording quality too, bearing in mind it dates from around 1947 (I think).

Many thanks for posting this - you've made my day!!

[yoyoloveT]

Thank you very much.

This is, actually, my father's favourite. From the booklet: it was recored on 9,10. IV. 1948, No.1 Studio, Abbey Road, London, with Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Herbert

von Karajan.

(I love your expression:" You've made my day" )

thanks for posting here this legendary perfomance, so full of truth, and really uncomparable. Two of the greatest: Lipatti and Herbert von Karajan. And, yes, three: Robert Schumann!

I still have my cd of this....

Schumann & Lipatti & Karajan = virtuosos & Geniuses!!

schumann is so so underrated. in my opinion he created some of the most beautiful music in the repertoire.

Ormai divenuta leggendaria questa meravigliosa incisione di Lipatti, con la sua luminosa e levigata sonorità, con la tecnica di strabiliante infallibilità, e un senso interpretativo pieno di lirismo sobrio ma armoniosamente moderno e attuale. Tutta la genialità dell'interprete al servizio del Capolavoro, con umiltà e dedizione !!! Da Gran Premio del Disco, se si pensa che è stata incisa negli anni '50 !!!!!!!
