5.0 out of 5 stars A Divine Revelation, June 13, 2005

Everyone who knows what they are talking about agrees: Dinu Lipatti was heaven sent. Cortot thought so, so did Walter Legge and countless others. This recording is nothing short of the last and greatest divine revelation Lipatti gave us. The Schubert G Flat Major impromptu is one of the most amazing performances around. If you are a pianist, you must listen to Lipatti to understand what piano playing means.

I remember the first time I heard this recording 40 years ago, like it was yesterday.

I fear that words can only trivialize what occured at this recital.

Of the thousands of piano recordings I've heard in my life, this remains one of the most extraordinary performances I have ever heard.

This CD typifies the extraordinary talent of the late, great Dinu Lipatti. The recording is old, so not of the highest fidelity. But one can still hear the amazing ability of this short-lived pianist.
