merci pour ce vibrant  enregistrement qui montre qu'il n'a pas toujours été malade.

était-ce le piano qui devait être accordé ou bien la vitesse d'enregistrement les conditions d'enregistrement la vitesse de reproduction ... effectivement cela détonne un peu.

I valzer op. 34 di Chopin, sono tra i più riusciti. Quello in mi bemolle maggiore qui eseguito magistralmente da Lipatti, è il più viennese, forse in omaggio al vecchio J. Strauss.Le esecuzioni di A. B. Michelangeli, Backhaus e Arthur Rubinstein sono pure degne di attenzione, ricche di idee musicali.

This is not the best Chopin. It's within the traditinal style, but he plays it in a popular style!!

You can't have out of tune perfect pitch, unless you are an arsehole in which case such a comment would be plausible.

SCOTT LEATHER

@msg355 You do! (So do I and it's definitely out of tune)!

max o'driscoll

@sll10 it's perfectly in tune..i have perfect pitch, and i would know...

Bod Mas

He understood Chopin's heart so well.

@markarama23 Thank you for the piano number. 299 is very low. At this Time, for a Pianist, a Steinway was a very personal thing. For example the Steinway of Edwin Fisher is by the family of a pupils.

SCOTT LEATHER

@markarama23 Thanks!

The Piano Files

@sll10 It was on APR's CD set of Lipatti's 1947 London EMI Recordings, and is now on a Japanese label, Opus Kura...

The Piano Files

@GiovanniEMB Actually it's Steinway 299 ;-) Great piano! And of course great playing!

Christian Kircher

what a wonderful soundquality. Walter Legge and Dinu Lipatti, a fruitful meeting.....

SCOTT LEATHER

Has this recording been released on CD?

GiovanniEMB

Yes and no. Dinu Lipatti recorded 14 valses in Genava in 1950. This One is recorded in London in 1947 at Abbey Road Studio. The piano must be a very good Steinway B 211. A rare recording.

SCOTT LEATHER

Shame recording is so out of tune...however, this is from the greatest performance of the waltzes on record imo.
