Towards the end of 1946, Dinu Lipatti returned to Brussels.

La Cité Nouvelle remarked on November 6:
“This was an evening of high quality, impressing us deeply; it seemed the very soul of gentle [and] brilliant Mozart, whose works we heard, was there, inspiring the musicians an exceptional state of mind.”

"This was an evening of high quality, impressing us deeply; it seemed the very soul of gentle [and] brilliant Mozart, whose works we heard, was there, inspiring the musicians an exceptional state of mind... In Piano Concerto no. 21, virtuoso Dinu Lipatti too left us with a profound impression, [through a performance rich in suggestions and ideas which gave the]music a particularly free flow.... Faithful to a tradition which seems to have been lost since so many performers forget that they must, first of all, be musicians, Lipatti wrote the [concerto’s] cadenzas himself, allowing us to appreciate his art as a composer... [which art was] constantly governed by a marked respect for the work he thus embellished.”
