Lipatti was the most spiritual of Western musicians, and was unsurpassed in his chosen repertoire>I think this is really going too far. There are several better Chopin waltzes (and pianists), and give me Feinberg in Bach Partita 1. I love Lipatti also, but I'd put him with somebody like Michelangeli - a fine artist but not a genius at the piano like Rachmaninov.
