He had arrived that morning. The recording, or rather the broadcast, was being done live; and a half-hour before the audience arrived at the Salle du Parlement, we learnt that Lipatti was at his hotel, felled by an attack. Madeleine Dinu Lipatti was obviously at his side in a state you can imagine, and a miracle occurred: exactly five minutes before the announcement of the concert, we saw Dinu Lipatti arrive, supported by his admirable wife, and I say well supported because he could barely walk. A half-hour earlier, the doctors were still at his bedside, giving him shot after shot. It was lovely weather, very hot. An armchair had been prepared for us in the small room that served as our studio, as well as a rest studio for all the artists who gave recitals in the Salle du Parlement. An armchair had been set up, and in front of it, three electric heaters; a woollen blanket awaited Dinu Lipatti who, wan and shivering in a cold sweat, was sprawled in this armchair. When it came time to play, we were still hesitating over going on the air and making the announcement. But inexorably, the time had come. And that's when the miracle of music occurred: at that moment, throwing back the blanket, standing, pushing the electric heaters aside, Dinu Lipatti, with a firm, lively, assured step, walked to his piano. And it can truly be said that, at that moment, music was a veritable breath of life for Dinu Lipatti. Between each [group of] piece[s], he came and collapsed in this armchair. He was given a shot, he was given a cordial, and off he went again to play. » - Le journal ‘La République’ : « Surmontant avec un courage extraordinaire, une grande fatigue, tenant avant tout à faire face d ses engagements, Dinu LIPATTI est monté samedi sur l'estrade de la Chambre des audiences solennelles, ancienne Salle du Parlement de Franche-Comté, devant un public - particulièrement nombreux, puisque le Parlement, proprement adit et l'antichambre, étaient archi-combles. Nul ne fut déçu, le prodigieux artiste s’est prodigué en toute simplicité et chacun put apprécier le virtuose que les capitales ont, au cours de ces dernières années très justement applaudi. Nous n'aurions garde d'analyser le jeu clair et subtil de Dinu LIPATTI et son tempérament; d'autres plumes plug autorisées ont déjà jeté à tous les vents, les échos de soirées magnifiques, où, comme samedi, Bach, Mozart, Schubert et Chopin ont trouvé un traducteur de première grandeur. Disons simplement, qu’égal la réputation qui lui est faite, l'éminent artiste fut digne du « FESTIVAL » et que les portes du Parlement se sont fermées, jusqu'à l’an prochain, en beauté. Objet de moult rappels, amplement mérités, le prestigieux pianiste qui se double aussi d'un compositeur, fit droit à la requête des auditeurs et les « bis » se succédèrent, dont l'un était une transcription due au talent de l’artiste lui-même. » - Le journal ‘Le Comtois’ : L’émotion qui étreignait la gorge des spectateurs qui s’entassèrent samedi après-midi dans la salle du Parlement a atteint, en fin de concert, une intensité poignante. Dinu Lipatti, jeune pianiste dont la renommée fait chanceler celle des plus grands maîtres du clavier était là et la noblesse de son attitude imposa à la salle le respect qui tempéra, tout au long de ce concert, l’ardeur d’un enthousiasme qui n’osait se manifester trop bruyamment. Pour commencer, Dinu Lipatti joua la Partita en si bémol majeur de Bach. D’une dignité sans compromis, son interprétation, dont la nuance reste sans cesse asservie à une forme contrapuntique qui est en elle seule, déjà un vrai chef d’oeuvre, nous a donné de Bach quelques pages ou la pureté d’expression était alliée à une clarté d’exposition sans défaut. Dans la Sonate en la mineur de Mozart, dont l’andante recèle des phrases d’une évocation presque tragique, le jeu sensible et léger de Dinu Lipatti nous fit oublier la vision enfantine à laquelle nous sommes trop souvent accoutumés pour nous donner de cette oeuvre un aspect profondément humains, dont la délicatesse extrême était dépouillé de toute sensiblerie. L’audition presque intégrale des deux impromptus de Schubert et des Valses de Chopin (celle en mi bémol exceptée) nous permit de mieux apprécier encore la virtuosité impeccable, souple, légère, frémissante et la sensibilité sans mièvrerie ni excès, de ce très grand musicien. (…) Le monde entier souhaite un prompt et durable rétablissement (à Dinu Lipatti), voeu qui fut traduit dans les applaudissements que la salle, debout, prodigua sans fin à ce véritable génie de la musique. » Chopin: 14 Waltezs, Barcarolle, Nocturne, Mazurka by Dinu Lipatti 🎧 Qobuz bit.ly/3wTQkw3 Tidal bit.ly/3kCnqvI 🎧 Spotify spoti.fi/3qHGtbB KZbin Music bit.ly/3HqyPZ1 🎧 Apple Music apple.co/30k2imu Amazon Music amzn.to/3Dp2DmI 🎧 Deezer bit.ly/3qBOcI6 Soundcloud bit.ly/30Oc6ph 🎧 Naspter, Pandora, Anghami, Soundcloud, QQ音乐, LineMusic, AWA日本…

This brought me to the brink of tears. The energy that goes through a true artist's soul when they're performing is out-worldly and divine. Art is the only thing that outshines death.

[@michelpiccoli8166]

Interprétation d'une rare justesse et d une grande sensibilité. Vraiment MAGNIFIQUE !

[@mafweiss1]

For me, and considering he was dying and indeed dead 3 months later, one of the truly very greatest performances/recordings ever, whether instrumental or voice! The passion, the emotion is palpable. So moving, so profound. As described on the original LP cover ''one of the great musical and human statements, a testimony to his [Lipatti's] transcendental powers, an almost frightening assertion of mind over matter''.

[@radudanbaciu8198]

Geniul muzical interpretativ al lui Dinu Lipatti a depasit si va depasi mereu bariera timpului! Pianul sub degetele sale transmite o muzica celesta! Acuratetea sunetului este desavavsita! Multumim ca ati facut pasibila aceasta auditie,un adevarat regal!

[@classicalmusicreference]

New media are enabling a new generation to discover this legendary performance. This is the first time you'll be able to hear every transitional arpeggio by Dinu Lipatti, as well as the announcer's presentation. The remastering has improved the sound quality compared with previous editions.

[@ThePianoFiles]

This first release of all the announcements and warmups (only those before the Bach and Mozart were previously released) came on a Solstice CD for which I wrote a 4000-word text, and this is the source from which this upload derives. There is also the false note in the Schubert G-Flat Impromptu that was edited out of the broadcast and all previous issues of this work, which is how it was actually played during the concert - this derives from source material from the widow's collection that I discovered in a private collection in 2015.

[@classicalmusicreference]

@@ThePianoFiles Thank you for this information and for contributing to this wonderful physical edition, which is without doubt the best yet (www.solstice-music.com/fr/album/lipatti-le-dernier-recital ). In this new digital edition, the sound quality is even slightly improved.
