His Recitals Reviewed
A year later, in December 1947, La Lanterne announced that Dinu Lipatti will present, in the “Great Stars” series hosted by the Palais des Beaux-Arts, an all-Chopin recital.
The reviewer wrote on December 22:
“Dinu Lipatti, master of undeniable agility, performer of elegant authority, musician whose intelligence impregnates everything he plays, brought Chopin’s personality before us in a tremendously evocative manner.”
Aloys Fornerod wrote in La Tribune de Laussane
from May 27, 1947:
“Mr Lipatti’s art is too well-known and too well-loved to suffer the repeating of the praise we at other times expressed. The way this musician plays his piano gives the listeners the feeling of something definitive, irrefutable, decisive.”
Le Soir praised Lipatti’s pianism
on December 23, 1947:
“Lipatti captivated us with the finesse of his touch and with his rich palette of subtle, ever varying and surprising tones.”
La Libre Belgique described our compatriot thus
on December 22, 1947:
“…but for his keen yet delicate musicality, such technical and artistic perfection would be indeed hard to explain.”
Gazette de Lausanne wrote on May 23, 1947:
“Lipatti tamed the piano to such an extent that he makes it sound, in chamber music, exactly as dense as its partner requires it to be, so that the fusion between the two is flawless.”
