Extractions: Review: A decent album all around, but with some qualifications. Although Lipatti here plays the Bach Partita with a great deal of warmth, he doesn't quite possess Glenn Gould's contrapuntal clarity or interpretive imagination. The Scarlatti sonatas are lively but without the same nuance that Vladimir Horowitz imparts. Even Gould's limited Scarlatti recordings are a bit more compelling. The Mozart sonata K. 310 sounds a bit rushed; a better alternative would be Murray Perahia's recording of the same piece on Sony. If you're still looking for a Lipatti sampler, a much better album would be the live recording from his last concert in Besancon, France, made shortly before his death. It offers a more relaxed and expansive performance of the Bach Partita, along with the same Mozart piece, same Schubert pieces, and about a dozen Chopin Waltzes to boot.

Extractions: Home EMI Great Recordings Dinu Lipatti Artist: Dinu Lipatti Album: Chopin: Waltzes, etc. Cat. #: Discs: Label: EMI Great Recordings Usually ships: 2-3 days Normally: NZD OpusCDs Price: NZD Qty: The legendary Romanian pianist (who died in 1950 at the tragically young age of 33) is heard here in one of his most famous recordings: Chopin's 14 Waltzes, coupled with equally compelling accounts of the Barcarolle, the Nocturne, Op.27 No.2 and the Mazurka, Op.50 No.3. The recordings, made in Switzerland and London between 1947 and 1950, capture a piano playing that was, for Cortot, 'perfection'. Bryce Morrison, writing in the booklet, expresses how difficult it is to define and reassess such genius, and ends his appraisal by quoting the words coined by Lipatti's producer, Walter Legge: 'God lent the world His chosen instrument, whom we called Dinu Lipatti, for too brief a space'.
Extractions: Crotchet The Chopin is one of the composer's richest works, but its teeming counter-melodies and its profusion of contrasting ideas, not to speak of its technical demands in a purely mechanical sense, often lead to confusion and have discouraged frequent performance. No one has justified (indeed removed) its complexities more than Lipatti. No one has found a more natural dialogue in the first movement between the divine impetuousness of the primary material and the melting loveliness of the secondary theme, and in the Largo his long singing lines and his delicate accompanying figures converse freely with one another. It seems a banal comment but when in the wild spin of the finale heavy chordal writing is set against filigree passage-work it really does seem impossible that only one person is playing. The Liszt is deeply poetic while respecting the more extrovert character of the composer and the duets with Nadia Boulanger must be some of the most upbeat Brahms ever recorded, yet with no sacrifice of their deeply romantic nature. A black mark to EMI here for, firstly, giving the whole set only one track and, worse, for listing them numerically instead of in the order in which they are played (the above is correct, with no.6 played both at the beginning and at the end). Seldom has a fringe work like the Enescu had a performance which has revealed such a range of colour and clarity of utterance in it.
Extractions: Dinu Lipatti's renowned recording of the Schumann Piano Concerto makes a welcome reappearance in the distinguished ranks of EMI's 'Great Recordings of the Century' series. And well it might, for despite the obvious drawback of fifty-year-old sound there is indeed something special about it. Illness brought the pianist's early death in 1950, just weeks after he had performed the Mozart C major Concerto at the Lucerne Festival, again with Karajan conducting. If the recorded sound of this live performance does not have the advantages of the occasional studio retake, there is the frisson of a special occasion running through every bar. In his excellent insert notes Richard Osborne mentions that the audience was aware of Lipatti's circumstances - he was by now mortally ill - and the reception they give the performance is nothing less than ecstatic.

Extractions: Piano Romanian-born pianist ANDA ANASTASESCU is founder and artistic director of the London Schubert Players chamber orchestra. She gave her first public performance at nine with works by Beethoven and Prokofiev, in the Dalles Hall, Bucharest, within a year of learning the piano. After graduating from the Bucharest Conservatoire, she studied in Paris and London and attended master-classes with Halina Czerny-Stefanska and Sergiu Celibidache. At St Germain-en-Laye, Paris, she was unanimously awarded first prize at the 1974 Claude Debussy Piano Competition presided over by the composer Georges Auric. Her international career spans four continents and her performances include concertos with the philharmonic orchestras of Romania and the former Soviet republics, the Salzburg Mozarteum Ensemble, the BBC Concert Orchestra, and the European Community Chamber Orchestra as well as orchestras in the Far East and the USA. She worked with such conductors as Pascal Tortelier, Sian Edwards, Barry Wordsworth, Victoria Zhadko and Lim Yau. Several of her overseas concerts have been promoted by the British Council. Broadcasts have included BBC Radio 2's Saturday Gala Night, live recitals and recordings for the French National Radio and live orchestral concerts for the Romanian National Radio and Television. In 1989, Anda Anastasescu founded the London Schubert Players chamber orchestra and, in 1991, she established in Romania the Constantin Silvestri International Festival and Concerto Competition for Young Musicians (patron Lord Menuhin) in memory of the celebrated Romanian-born British conductor and composer Constantin Silvestri. She is also president of the Silvestri International Foundation.

Extractions: arts ... Advertise with Us classical Chopin: 14 Waltzes; Barcarolle; Nocturne Op. 27, No 2; Mazurka Op. 50, No 3. (EMI) This recording of the Chopin Waltzes has not left the catalog in the nearly half century since it was recorded. It is hard to imagine another piano recital that deserves as much reverence. The Rumanian-born Dinu Lipatti only lived for another three years after the Waltzes were performed, succumbing to leukemia at the age of 33. He left a slim legacy, not only because his life was so brief, but because his quest for perfection severely limited the number of recordings he would allow. Lipatti rendered the Waltzes with a panache that has never been equaled. His supple control of rhythm is carefully gauged, yet completely natural. He combined wit, eloquence, charm and dazzling technique in a way that allows the listener to hear only music; the medium disappears. The other works on the program sound no less magical. The great Barcarolle was a recording that was not sanctioned for release by the pianist. Very careful listening reveals playing that is slightly below the exalted level that is heard in the Waltzes, perhaps in a slight rushing of the final section. But the playing on the whole is so magnificent and radiant that one can only wonder in awe at what Lipatti might have produced in this music had he lived a longer life. The original recordings, although produced by the legendary Walter Legge, were compressed and distant sounding even for their vintage. This digital remastering is the best sounding version to date. But it doesn't much matter. Moments after the music begins, such mundane considerations are swept aside, as this playing of "divine spirituality," in the words of the composer Francis Poulenc, envelops the listener.

Extractions: Paris 1938-39 It is a long time since I have been so moved as I was by the appearance of the venerable and illustrious Emil Sauer Nearly five years have passed since I had the opportunity to admire [ Horowitz ], this magician of the keyboard. My impatience to hear him again was shared by the public, who actually assaulted the doors of the great Salle Pleyel ... I expected to hear the 'demonic' virtuoso who amazed the world at his debut. Instead I found him transformed - but not for the better. He still remains the same extraordinary pianist, but I had the impression - and I hope I am not the only one - that Horowitz is trying a tout prix to 'purify' his interpretations, to strip them of anything approaching artificiality. Yet, he accomplished this in such a way as to produce the contrary effect: his playing became mechanical and deadly artificial! ... Nothing is so sad as stylized and intellectualized music where only intuition and great sensitivity are needed. I recall a truism expressed by Busoni, although these may not be the exact words: The fault with Beethoven was that he was too profound. True philosophy does not consist in walking through the streets of Venice dressed in black during Carnival time, but in taking part in it
