"Den rumänske pianisten Dinu Lipatti dog i leukemi 33 år gammal 1950 - redan under livstiden en legend. Berömmelsen vilade på en kort men lysande karriär. Han spelade med förtrollande klarhet och outtömlig nyansering. Själv slet jag nästan ut min lp med Chopinvalser när det begav sig på 50-talet. Lipattis sparsamma inspelningar har återkommit i olika nyutgivningar, och nu är det dags igen. Sin sista konsert gav han i Besançon, och den radierades: en Bachpartita, Mozarts a-moll-sonat, två av Schuberts impromptus och alla Chopinvalserna med ett undantag. Den allra sista valsen hade han inte ork till vid konserten, men Naxos nyutgåva kompletterar med en annan upptagning."

Besancon, 16th September 1950

Dinu Lipatti, piano

Reissue Producer and Audio Restoration Engineer: Mark Obert-Thorn

It is not surprising that Lipatti achieved cult status in the years following his death at the age of 33. He was an extremely sensitive musician and a man whose approach to the piano was one of utter fastidiousness, always striving for perfection in every aspect of his interpretation and performance. Throughout this Besançon recital there is a clarity of sound, evenness of attack and scrupulous attention to gradation of dynamics, characteristic hallmarks of Lipatti's playing. The fourteen Chopin Waltzes are played in the order that Lipatti chose for performance but, according to his wife, he was too physically weak to play the last Waltz in A flat, Op. 34 No. 1, so it is included here from his commercial recording of a few months before.
