Dinu Lipatti plays Liszt Concerto No. 1 in E flat

Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
Ernest Ansermet
rec. 1947

[@PeterLunowPL]

so completely different from how pianists play this concerto nowadays. This is almost transcendental, full of poetry ,a beautiful tone, bringing the work to a higher level than I could ever imagine. God....what a tragedy that this man died so young

[@carmenridiche7984]

Indeed , his interpretation is full of poetry !!!

[@laurencelevine3955]

I thought the same thing when I first heard this.

[@geofpawlicki2984]

Poetry, yes, but In truth, they are first and foremost following the printed articulations.

First, thanks for speaking so eloquently about the unique beauties of this Lipatti performance, second; but rather than mourn for what might have been, let us remember always to be grateful, as I know you are, for the miracle of his time among us...

[@jackatherton0111]

The model for this unusually spacious performance seems to be the recording by two Liszt students, Emil von Sauer, whom Lipatti admired in print when it was no longer fashionable, and the conductor Felix Weingartner. But (ducking now to avoid brickbats) while those two sound unaffectedly grand, Lipatti to my ears is a little self-conscious and stilted. To marvel at Lipatti in a more natural vein, listen to his live Chopin E minor concerto with Ackermann, and the astonishing encores.

Both Lipatti and Ansermet were very good friends of ours in Geneva, both were exceptional musicians, thanks for posting this!

[@JaredLeeFischer]

I will be in Geneva in September and would love to meet you and talk with you about Lipatti.

Quel merveilleux son, profond et dense, Dinu ne jouait pas, il priait, un grand serviteur de la Musique. Sa professeur, Florica Musicescu lui a dit un jour :" Ne joue pas la musique que tu aimes, mais joue surtout la Musique qui t'Aime ", longtemps cette phrase fut une énigme pour moi, mais je commence à la saisir, des années après, c'est au delà de l'intellect, cela est du domaine de Dieu, du Coeur. Hélas de nos jours l'âme se fait tellement rare, si rare..... je n'ai pas eu d'autre choix que d'entrer dans la résistance et la dissidence !...

Viva la Resistenza contro chi uccide l'anima!

Personally I've never really warmed to this somewhat glitzy concerto. Lipatti however brings something to the score that I've never heard from anyone else, not even Richter. His sensitive phrasing and control of dynamics is something to marvel at, not to mention the amazing fleetness of touch. Thank you for this not so well known document of the revered Lipatti.

Straordinario e originale

Questo mistero del Cielo mi fa amare persino questo compositore !!!!

[@MrGer2295]

Great performance! Thanks for sharing!

[@randysills4418]

I never knew that this was a concerto that he ever played. I assume that this was from the 1940s due to the surface noise. Does anyone have any details as to the orchestra or conductor?

[@purple467]

Yes, it was a concerto that he ever played.

[@purple467]

And yes, the forties. Since he died in 1950....

[@saltburner2]

I think this must be from a broadcast as he did not record it commercially. There is also a live Schumann concerto with Ansermet, issued on LP by Decca.

[@Julia-ei2wf]

Ce dulce este Dinu!

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

Ah Julia...DINU era un ANGELO (autentico!!!) che è venuto in nostro aiuto...e tutti gli altri pianisti (anche quelli grandissimi) sono così lontani... Un caro saluto

[@supertortoise3000]

FANTASTIC i love him

[@jacekrozga4285]

Să sune pianul cum suna in mana lui se naște odată la 1000 de ani…. De câte ori îl ascult încep să plâng ….

Most intelligent musicians recognise making Music is being Godlike. You talk of a time when to question the existence of the Bible God would mean excommunication.

Oh, here's the Viennese troll trying to force his personal religious beliefs upon others. Big snore. Take your god BS and buzz off!
