Dinu Lipatti - Barcarolle for piano in F sharp Major op 60

Bellissimo...

Clara Haskill a friend was an admirer...could you find a better recommendation...

i just noticed now the bell-like ringing quality of the piano especially in the treble towards the end. wow!

S'il avait vécu plus longtemps, sans doute Dinu serait-il devenu une référence absolue pianistique...(il en est déjà une quelque part)

try also Cortot's version (a bit more aggresive but has the same essential qualities music-wise) and Horowitz

Great!!

For 20 years now this recording has had my vote as the most perfect piano recording ever made

Lipatti shall live on in our hearts forever! Bravo!

Perfection!!!...Lipatti gets everything just right...the rhythm, tempo (no, it's NOT too fast!)...sound, just the right amount of rubato...Lipatti makes it an authentic Venetian boat song, full of romance, longing, nostalgia..a masterful performance of one of Chopin's greatest works that all pianists can aspire to-- but never will-- equal or surpass

I couldn't agree with you more. Every time I listen to this I am out on that gondola with Lipatti, feeling the lapping of the currents in the lagoon and the glistening reflections of light on the water.
