What can one do if not to feel touched most intimately in the soul when hearing the melody at 1:25 played with such a beautiful tone and such disarmaingly natural phrasing... I'm speechless. Lipatti renders like nobody else that Chopinesque love declaration, filled with joy but also resignation between 2:11 and the climax at 3:32). This whole recording is full of magic moments which really render justice to Chopin's genius! Lipatti opens my heart!

Just as fresh today as the day it was cut. What a great artist!

I don't think he ever makes a mistake. how is that possible? too bad so few people listen to such things .

The education is so rotten that only a few kids even know how to read music, much less have a taste for such things.

Dinu Lipatti's last recital at Besancon in 1950 on 16th sept will remain always a

tribute to the finest of playing, his bravery playing in such pain, and his legacy

leaves us with a lifetime treasure.

At some point Chopin got hold of this book on counterpoint by Cherubini, and in a sort of malicious mood figured he was going to unleash all this counerpoint onto his listeners, and really throw them. Not a guy to hit the books, or even watch much television, he liked to relax with a little weed, ordinarily. Anyway, Mr. Lipatti here cuts through all the Chopinesque trickery and makes the movement convincingly transparent.

I have heard many marvelous recordings of this work. Lipatti's version is my favorite. Here is a man that plays with mastery, artistry and he expresses what really can't be put into mere words. He communicates the ineffable, sublime meaning that I think Chopin meant to convey.

What is astonishing is the choice of tempi , the balance between strict structure tempi and the "souplesse" , the liberties which always keep into that "equilibre" structurewhich is always present. Lipatti never goes for a nice effect in a phrase but keeps in mind the whole structure of the piece. He is the most honest musician with good taste. Then to say this is it and no other interpretation is possible, is not right but there will not be big differences as the text does give the frame....
