"This Romanian pianist confirmed... the excellent impression he had already made in Chopin’s concerto... We had the chance to study closely, and to enjoy even more, his traits – a balanced technique and a quite special disposition, permanently, carefully, and rationally controlled. It is obvious that the emotion and the musicality he endowed the works of Bach, Schumann, Chopin or Debussy with are the fruit of a labour giving proof of an artistic conscience which deserves commendation. Dinu Lipatti masters equally well the Classical, Romantic, or Modern style, putting his whole soul in each and every work, and playing each and every one with an inexhaustible expressiveness. Let us add that his manner of playing unites a sober bearing, void of any unnecessary gesture, with a sensitivity from which all prudery and histrionics have been banned.”
