In the course of two years, between January 1946 and December 1947, Lipatti played eight times in Brussels. His program of events listed two evenings with Orchestre National de Belgique under Ernest Ansermet, another four concerts (from which three for the young public, within the Jeunesses Musicales series) with the same orchestra led by Paul Sacher, and two recitals.

Praise not only followed, but also preceded Lipatti’s highly advertised appearances, as proves La Meuse from October 26 and 28, 1946:
“You will enjoy the exceptional gratification of being able to listen to this pianist about whom we have heard only the greatest things, to this virtuoso whom Cortot declared to be the new Horowitz”, or, “Without any doubt, those who will not come hear the remarkable Dinu Lipatti, this revelation of the piano, will regret it.”
