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.
