It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Idolatory?

195.93.21.66

His recording of the 'Bacarolle' can be confidently stated as the most profound ever recorded. His B minor sonata only has Rubinstein which equals it artistically, although Lipatti has more elan than him in the scherzo and finale>

I don't think any of Lipatti's Chopin equals the best from the really great Chopin pianists - just listen to Sofronitsky, Josef Hofmann (much better first movement of 3rd sonata), Rachmaninov, Horowitz, Rosenthal and Friedman amongst others in the Waltzes and Mazurkas for a wider technical and emotional palette. Of course Lipatti is good, but he wasn;t the best in these works.
