- A March 19, 2017 broadcast of the KZSU Stanford radio program The Music Treasury with host Dr. Gary Lemco, featuring guest Mark Ainley in a tribute to the pianist Dinu Lipatti to celebrate his centenary on the calendar date of his birth (Lipatti was born March 19, 1917 - however, the calendar used by Romania at the time would make his birthday today actually April 1).
Historical recordings specialist and Lipatti researcher Mark Ainley has been researching Lipatti since the late 1980s and has uncovered some 3 hours worth of unpublished recordings of the legendary pianist. In this program, he presents a selection of Lipatti's official studio recordings alongside published and unpublished concert and test recordings while discussing the qualities of Lipatti's playing that has made him such a beloved figure in the pantheon of great pianists. This video of the radio broadcast features images of Lipatti and the recordings being played, including rare photographs, concert programs, and EMI documents from Mark Ainley's private collection. Featured in this tribute is the only known recording of Lipatti playing Beethoven: an excerpt of his 1947 test recording with cellist Antonio Janigro of Beethoven's Cello Sonata No.3 Op.69.

For those of us who discovered at some time the enchantment of Dinu Lipatti's playing, this presentation is an absolute treasure. Thank you to all who put this together. Such an incredible gift.
To all Lipatti admirers: take your time and listen to the entire interview. Dinu Lipatti is "up and alive".
Thank you for your good work, Mark.
This interview and the music are historic; I wish Mr. Ainley had the chance to do a cycle of such presentations! Very pertinent characterization of Lipatti; there is him, and then, the other pianists of the XXth century. In my country, in the eighties, I was visiting with an old lady who had met Lipatti; acording to her, he was a very pious and modest man like Enescu, whom she had known quite well.
I hope the Waldstein sonata will be found some day... .
Thank you for your very kind words. I've given some presentations in various locations (including some memorable Lipatti ones in Romania) and am starting to make some podcasts ... please check my page at hearthis.at/the-piano-files/
@@ThePianoFiles Thank you, Mark. I just listened to one or two montages -- better later than never. Little gems of musical commentary!
Merci infiniment Mark pour cette magnifique émission et pour tous vos commentaires. Merveilleux travail de reconstitution !
wow, the LVB!!! he is bringing out so many voicings? i have not heard before....
Even the 1950 waltz is crystaline and beautifully rhythmic compared to some other versions i know...but the earlier one, is transcendental...Bravo Mr. Lipatti, thank you Misters Lemco, Ainley, and The Piano Files...
Thank you very much, Mark!
The preluding of the Schubert Impromptu at 1:55:45 is one of the gems
Thank you very much, dear Mark!
Many thanks!
What a gift for lovers of classical music! Some poet, I think either Ezra Pound or we cumings said: “All art aspires to the condition of music!” Because it is directly imbibed emotionally without the need for intervening words, and/or graphics. If you listen to the music closely, you are spiritually transported by its rhapsodic poetry.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you !
Magnificent in every way - congratulations and thanks to all concerned.
59:38 Wow, I've never listened to the original recording without the EMI remastering, it really sounds better... is this unfiltered version available (on CD, or online) in its entirety ?
By the way, happy new year ! Best wishes.
Alas, there is no unfiltered version commercially available ... hopefully some day before long!
