[@rumpelkiste5582]

First I have heard this when I was 17 - and over more than 30 years now, again and again, am amazed how this recording defeats all challenges of modern recording technologies with an unbeaten ease and grace, how Lippati is able to capture you with every single attack. What a gift, that it is still there! It is exactly how David Finch Hatton in "Out of Africa" says: "Finally they have invented something useful!"

[@JD-qd5zp]

What a tragic loss. Why can’t Dinu Lipatti come back to earth and live to be 100.

Such a tragedy his life was cut so short! His legacy, his genial renditions on the painoforte.

[@embenadorfinearts]

This live concert should be praised in every possible way. Lipatti is subtle without being sentimental, has an extraordinary touch and a rare musical sense with infinite accents. His Celeste liberty of expression and his interior intensity are almost censorial. This interpretation invites the listener to be inside the music of Mozart with an emotional active role. The cadanze are superb, expressive and totally in context. Thank you for posting this amazing document !

For eight years, Madame Lipatti and I searched Europe in the hope of finding a recording taken from the air by an amateur.

Mozart is always graceful, but in this pianoconcerto No 21, especially in the second movement, he is excedingly that. One understands, why this concerto is so popular and the chosen music of a Swedish romantic film "Elvira Madigan". Dinu Lipatti is a first-rate pianist, his cadenzas are suberb.

Ofcourse Lipatti is great as well. Perhaps the greatest pianist that lived so far. I'm not so sure about how his Mozart would measure up to Horowitz's but Horowitz recorded this at the height of his maturity while Lipatti died at a very premature one. I'm sure Lipatti's is more 'perfect' though since he is a pianist whos level is unsurpassed. There's Lipatti and than there's everyone else.

[@bakkerbakkerable]

Agocics, as a schooled musician me once told me that the movement, rythm comes within the music itself, dinu was besides a gifted pianist above all a dedicated musician, he would never allowed himself to the so-called (rocket) brilliance of performances now-a days. The 'rocket' comes from the music itself with good help from a gifted perfomer. I think that even rubenstein sometimes needed to smoothe out things. By dinu that is not the case. Of course 'smoothing' out is somewhat the opposite of 'rocket-playing'.

Queridos amigos no quiero polemizar, no es mi afan.

No se puede competir con Dios porque Mozart es Dios mismo. Gracias.

[@luisademar8986]

Mozart ist ein Dramatiker, ein Opernkomponist. Kein Komponist von klimpernder Spieldosenmusik. Das hat Lipatti, Schüler des inspirierten Interpreten Alfred Cortot durchaus verstanden und ihn auch so gespielt. Er bringt dramatische Spannung in die Musik und bringt es sogar fertig, den stocksteifen Karajan in Bewegung zu setzen. - Wundervoll und leider sehr selten, so Etwas.

I do not claim that Dinu Lipatti was "the greatest pianist ever" - all I can say is that his interpretations of Liszt, Chopin and Mozart give me huge pleasure. Depending on my mood (and the piece I want to hear), I will turn to Argerich, Arrau, Brendel, Horowitz, Rubinstein, or others - but I would not say that one is better than another. I will say that Dinu Lipatti had a technical skill and musical knowledge which he used to communicate what he felt to be the composer's vision in a way that moves me deeply.
