Dinu Lipatti Biography 1950, at the age of thirtythree, dinu lipatti played his final concert. After lipatti s death, on December 2, 1950, the great German pianist Wilhelm Backhaus http://www.webcom.com/cyteen/links/lipatti.html
Extractions: From 1936 on, Lipatti's reputation as a pianist, and then as a teacher, continued to grow. In 1944, he was made a professor at the conservatory in Geneva, where he remained until 1948. During this time, he began preparations for a concert tour of America; but it became apparent that he was suffering from leukemia, and the tour was canceled. Hopes for his recovery rose when he received expensive cortisone treatments for which Igor Stravinsky, Charles Munch and Yehudi Menuhin to name only a few, contributed large amounts of money but the improvement in his condition proved temporary. In the fall of 1950, at the age of thirty-three, Dinu Lipatti played his final concert.
Extractions: An ink-troduction by Soo Kian Hing Dinu Lipatti was born in Bucharest, Rumania, on 19 March 1917, to wealthy and musical parents: his father had studied violin under Sarasate and his mother was a pianist and piano teacher. He began playing the piano as an infant and made his public debut as pianist and composer at the amazingly young age of four. His parents, very wisely, avoided exploiting their child prodigy and had him study at the Bucharest Conservatoire. At the same time, professors from the university would come to his home to teach him as his weak health precluded a formal school education. It was not until he was 17 that he left Bucharest to embark on his musical career. When Lipatti was awarded only Second Prize at the Vienna Piano Competition in 1934, the great French pianist Alfred Cortot resigned from the jury in protest, and personally invited Lipatti to Paris where he took the young pianist under his wing. At the same time, Lipatti studied composition under Nadia Boulanger and Paul Dukas, and conducting under Charles Munch. Lipatti returned to Rumania in 1939 and survived World War II in his fatherland. He only fled the country near the end of the war with his fiancée Madeleine Cantacuzene (later his wife and then widow), via Scandinavia, to Switzerland, where at the Geneva Conservatoire he held the highest piano professorship from 1944 to 1949. He concertized widely in Europe, including Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Belgium and Holland, and his fame and popularity grew rapidly. He was also much sought after as a teacher for his masterclasses.

Extractions: by EMI Records The Roumanian Dinu Lipatti is a myth among pianists, a cult figure ringed by the aureole of a reputation. The recording of Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto is one of those of which words like "imperishable" and "unsurpassable" are used, and it is the epitome of supple elegance; some of his Chopin performances exert the spell of "Romantic Schwarmerei" ; his interpretations of Bach are heard with respect but the listeners shake their heads over the perpetuation of 19th-century taste. And they lament Lipatti's Schubertian fate, his early death at only 33. The very sound of Dinu Lipatti's name is a distant, oh so distant sound from a remote age in the history of piano-playing. Where does the key to Lipatti's art lie? Not in the fluency, accuracy and high technical standard, for every aspiring pianist has those today, as a matter of course. In the breadth of his repertory (even if it excludes Beethoven)? It's not uncommon. In the poetry and expressiveness of his attack7 A large number of presentday pianists equal him in that. I never had the good fortune to hear Lipatti in the concert hall; I know him only through his recordings. Yet I will venture the theory that the key to Lipatti's art lies in something that reference books pass over: in the fact that he was a composer and also a conductor, just as his compatriot and godfather George Enescu was a violinist and a composer.

Extractions: Live recording of Lipatti's last recital in Besacon, on 16 September 1950. Mono recording. Please see review below for programme. by Soo Kian Hing On first hearing this disc, I was rather taken aback by the freshness of what may be considered standard piano fare. Bach is no stranger to candidates for Associated Board piano examinations, who would usually preface their exam programme with one of either his 48's or the Partitas. Mozart is the ubiquitous composer and I assume no living human being, short of being born deaf, has not heard one of his melodies. Schubert was another composer whose forte was in writing beautiful melodies of countless variety, notably in his songs. Chopin, being the pianist's composer, wrote little that did not include a piano part. So how did Lipatti do it how did he transform this routine programme that any competent student could play any day, to a unique performance that lets the listener experience every piece anew, as if he is hearing it for the first time? The answer, I believe, is "Life"; yet this life comes from someone so close to his deathbed he practically had the Grim Reaper applauding from among the audience. Strictly, "partita" means "variation". Bach chose to write his 6 Partitas as baroque dance suites, each prefaced by a prelude of a different name (praeludium, sinfonia, fantasia, ouverture, praeambulum, and toccata). The six partitas appeared separately between 1729 and 1730, and were published together in 1731 under Klavierubung. Bach is known for his polyphonic style, to the point of being considered old-fashioned by his contemporaries when the trend moved toward monophony with harmonic accompaniment.

After taking second prize at the Vienna Piano Competition in 1934 (a misscarrige of artstic justice which cause Alfred Cortot to dissocaiete himself from the jury), Lipatti moved to Paris, where his mentors included Cortot, Charles Munch(conducting), Paul Dukas (composition) and Nadia Boulanger. With concerts in Germany, Italy and Paris (wherr Poulenc discerned in him a "divine spirituality") Lipatti's fame as a performer spread rapidly. There was a great deal more to Lipatti's art than "divine spirituality". There was also charm, pathos and intellectual power, a breathtaking rhythmic energy combined with an almost inhuman control (his "Alborada" is not only unsurpassed but unequaled) and a profound awareness of pianistic colors" Jeremy Siepmann

Extractions: Literatur (Auswahl) , und Francis Poulenc sah in ihm einen sein Leben unter dem Zeichen der Gnade stand. (Transparenz) seiner Interpretationen: Lipatti als durchdringender Vergeistigung Oder anders gefragt: Läßt sich die Faszination, die von dem Musiker Lipatti ausging, auch heute noch nachvollziehen? Ein Versuch bietet sich an; immerhin ist seine künstlerische Hinterlassenschaft vergleichsweise überschaubar. Im Handel erhältlich sind derzeit rund sieben Stunden Musik, davon Etliches in doppelter Ausführung, als Studio-Produktion und Konzertmitschnitt. Entsprechend schmal ist auch das eingespielte Repertoire: Bach (mit Vorliebe in Bearbeitungen), zwei Scarlatti-Sonaten, Schubert-Impromptus, einzelne Werke von Liszt, Ravel und Enesco, ein wenig Mozart, die Klavierkonzerte von Schumann und Grieg, und vor allem Chopin. Beethoven hingegen fehlt ganz. Nur zögernd näherte Lipatti sich dem "Neuen Testament" der Klavierspieler an; von den 32 Sonaten hat er nur die "Waldsteinsonate" öffentlich gespielt. Vorwärtsdrängend und mit vibrierender Nervosität dann der erste Satz von Mozarts a-moll-Sonate KV 310 - das einzige Mal, daß Lipatti das Gefühl vermittelt, er müsse gegen die ihm verbleibende Zeit anspielen. Melodiebögen reißen unvermittelt ab, und die Durchführung brodelt bedrohlich im Pianissimo. Ein gelegentliches kurzes Aufbäumen ins Forte, dann fällt alles wieder in sich zusammen. Ein Mozart, der nicht im eigentlichen Sinne schön, dafür jedoch mit jeder Faser wahrhaftig ist. Der Vorwurf, Lipattis Kunst gehe das Dramatische ab, wird spätestens in seinem letzten Konzert ad absurdum geführt; man kann sich durchaus vorstellen, wie seine Interpretation der "Waldsteinsonate" geklungen haben muß.
