"Without any doubt, Dinu Lipatti is one of the greatest pianists of today. He doesn’t make ample gestures, he doesn’t exhibit an inspired look, he doesn’t throw us languorous glances nor shows off by hammering on the piano; on the contrary, we find in him no trace of those effects used for their known ability to impress whatsoever. Mr Lipatti is sobriety and simplicity itself – and he is, at the same time, a great artist. His sound is unimaginable: by what miracle does he draw out such resonances from his instrument? Unaffected, graceful, sweet, and homogenous, his playing is a true delight. Lipatti captivated us with the finesse of his touch and with his rich palette of subtle, ever varying and surprising tones.”
