Extractions: An ink-troduction by Soo Kian Hing Dinu Lipatti was born in Bucharest, Rumania, on 19 March 1917, to wealthy and musical parents: his father had studied violin under Sarasate and his mother was a pianist and piano teacher. He began playing the piano as an infant and made his public debut as pianist and composer at the amazingly young age of four. His parents, very wisely, avoided exploiting their child prodigy and had him study at the Bucharest Conservatoire. At the same time, professors from the university would come to his home to teach him as his weak health precluded a formal school education. It was not until he was 17 that he left Bucharest to embark on his musical career. When Lipatti was awarded only Second Prize at the Vienna Piano Competition in 1934, the great French pianist Alfred Cortot resigned from the jury in protest, and personally invited Lipatti to Paris where he took the young pianist under his wing. At the same time, Lipatti studied composition under Nadia Boulanger and Paul Dukas, and conducting under Charles Munch. Lipatti returned to Rumania in 1939 and survived World War II in his fatherland. He only fled the country near the end of the war with his fiancée Madeleine Cantacuzene (later his wife and then widow), via Scandinavia, to Switzerland, where at the Geneva Conservatoire he held the highest piano professorship from 1944 to 1949. He concertized widely in Europe, including Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Belgium and Holland, and his fame and popularity grew rapidly. He was also much sought after as a teacher for his masterclasses.

During this time, he began preparations for a concert tour of America; but it became apparent that he was suffering from leukemia, and the tour was canceled. Hopes for his recovery rose when he received expensive cortisone treatments for which Igor Stravinsky, Charles Munch and Yehudi Menuhin to name only a few, contributed large amounts of money but the improvement in his condition proved temporary. In the fall of 1950, at the age of thirty-three, Dinu Lipatti played his final concert. After Lipatti's death, on December 2, 1950, the great German pianist Wilhelm Backhaus said, "All that is left for us is to remember the beauty of what he gave us, and to mourn."

Extractions: Chopin: 13 Waltzes The phenomenon of a musician dying young is, unfortunately, not so rare. All areas of music are poorer for having lost the talents of major artists who would have made an even greater impact had they lived out their maturity. Although our thoughts normally focus on rock and jazz musicians who flamed out early, classical music, too, has shared in such losses. Indeed, it is likely that the fields of conducting, violin and piano all would have been topped nowadays by artists who died decades ago. Ginette Neveu, a phenomenal violinist, and Guido Cantelli, Toscanini's only protege, both were killed in air crashes en route to concert engagements, victims of an urge to internationalize their nascent careers. Neveu and Cantelli, at least, were spared knowledge of their fate. Dinu Lipatti was forced to confront his. Lipatti was born in Bucharest in 1917 to a family of musicians. He gave his first concert at the age of four and was destined to become a great pianist. His teachers were the cream of classical culture: pianist Alfred Cortot, conductor Charles Munch, composer Paul Dukas, and finally Nadia Boulanger, arguably the most influential mentor of the century. He withdrew to his native Roumania for private study during most of World War II, and then escaped to Switzerland in 1943, where he taught and made his home. After the War, just as he had arrived in the pantheon of great performing artists, Lipatti was diagnosed with leukemia. Producer Walter Legge urged him to record. His entire studio legacy barely fills 5 CDs (available separately at mid-price and packaged together as budget-priced EMI set CZS 7 67162 2). Among the highlights are Chopin pieces and a justly famous reading of the Grieg

Also, I have seen other Lipatti works on CD and wonder if any of them are as wonderful.

Extractions: by EMI Records The Roumanian Dinu Lipatti is a myth among pianists, a cult figure ringed by the aureole of a reputation. The recording of Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto is one of those of which words like "imperishable" and "unsurpassable" are used, and it is the epitome of supple elegance; some of his Chopin performances exert the spell of "Romantic Schwarmerei" ; his interpretations of Bach are heard with respect but the listeners shake their heads over the perpetuation of 19th-century taste. And they lament Lipatti's Schubertian fate, his early death at only 33. The very sound of Dinu Lipatti's name is a distant, oh so distant sound from a remote age in the history of piano-playing. Where does the key to Lipatti's art lie? Not in the fluency, accuracy and high technical standard, for every aspiring pianist has those today, as a matter of course. In the breadth of his repertory (even if it excludes Beethoven)? It's not uncommon. In the poetry and expressiveness of his attack7 A large number of presentday pianists equal him in that. I never had the good fortune to hear Lipatti in the concert hall; I know him only through his recordings. Yet I will venture the theory that the key to Lipatti's art lies in something that reference books pass over: in the fact that he was a composer and also a conductor, just as his compatriot and godfather George Enescu was a violinist and a composer.

Extractions: DINU LIPATTI 1917-1950 Monday, November 22, 1999 Autobiographical For some of us, there will always be pianists who we regard as in some sense among the immortals. Dinu Lipatti is one of these for me. He was a tragic figure, an aristocrat in all the best senses, of the old school. These days he is little known, but thankfully enough, many of his incredible performances survive out there on CD's. The most astounding thing about a Lipatti performance is that he makes everything sound as though his conception, his interpretation, his CHOPIN Piano Concerto, GRIEG Piano Concerto, etc.

Extractions: Dinu Lipatti (1917-1950) "There was a great deal more to Lipatti's art than "divine spirituality". There was also charm, pathos and intellectual power, a breathtaking rhythmic energy combined with an almost inhuman control (his "Alborada" is not only unsurpassed but unequaled) and a profound awareness of pianistic colors" "Almost 40 years after his death from leukaemia at the tragically early age of 33, the aura of saintliness which surrounded Lipatti in life clings, undiminished, to his memory. Born in Romania, Lipatti began playing the piano while still in infancy and made his public debut, as both pianist and composer at the age of four. After taking second prize at the Vienna Piano Competition in 1934 (a miscarriage of artistic justice which cause Alfred Cortot to dissociate himself from the jury), Lipatti moved to Paris, where his mentors included Cortot, Charles Munch (conducting), Paul Dukas (composition) and Nadia Boulanger. With concerts in Germany, Italy and Paris (where Poulenc discerned in him a "divine spirituality") Lipatti's fame as a performer spread rapidly. J eremy Siepmann Selected by Alexandru Serban
