"We had heard about the student Lipatti, but we had not expected to meet the artist Lipatti. This young man is not only a bright graduate of his piano class, but a true artist: serious, deep into his work, quietly heeding what he has to do – which, we must observe, in the plethora of «little geniuses»that invade yearly the music schools across the country, is not that often an occurrence. Lipatti, who by age is barely entering adulthood, seems rather gifted, enjoying not only a good technique but also a good understanding of music, will to play, and spirit. Intensely poetic and of manly vigour – these are gifts that adorned his rendition of Liszt’s concerto; joined with the same constant, serious thirst for knowledge and for improving his skills, they will continue to develop, and they will give even better shape to the virtuoso we foresee in Dinu Lipatti.”
