Once I had a chat with Georg Vasarhelyi. He told me that he attended a concert with Lipatti in Switzerland in his young days. He said "I don't recall one tone of that concert. But I recall that the concert stage with Lipatti was one huge clear LIGHT!". Yes, we almost SEE the light when listening to Lipatti!!

Such a light touch!!

que desgracia con la pesima calidad de las grabaciones rumanas. La extrema pobreza de este pais es capaz de destrozar a este genial interprete mediante su descuido...

@billyguns2

"greatest pianist/musician" well put up, he was the greatest exponent of no compromise between the 2.

[billyguns2]

We get the character of the music under Lipatti's sublime playing, which is also technically astounding but doesn't draw attention to the mechanics; Lipatti was just the greatest pianist/musician I ever heard. As always, there is a touching sincerity and vulnerability to his playing that is quite special, with no "quirks" or strange accents or voice leadings. He is my role model.

Simon Barere owns Gnomenreigen.
