- Dinu Lipatti's performance of Mozart's Sonata in A Minor, K310, at his last public recital, which took place at the Besancon International Music Festival on September 16, 1950. Included in this video are some photographs taken at the rehearsal in the Salle de Parlement that morning, as well as some pictures from the actual performance which were taken by Michel Meusy (who is at the time of this writing 102 years old). Also included is a previously unpublished picture of his hands which (along with all Besancon pictures) is featured in the upcoming documentary 'Le Recital de Besancon' on Sunless Films, directed by Philippe Roger.

Lipatti is one of very pianists who have the whole package: perfect technique, unyielding emotion, yet unparalleled taste. And his tone is always so warm and full
instablaster
and DANGEROUSLY Handsome
i never had an idea of how this sonata should be played until I heard this version.
You are not the only one. Listen to Gulda's interpretation, completely different.
You probably haven't seen Richter's video.
Lipatti's performance of the last movement is one of the greatest three minutes in the history of the piano.He plays it very fast, already leaving this earth in flight to Life Immortal.
Please, he still had 14 Chopin Waltzes to play in this program.
Got to share heaven with us before he left.
WilliamOccamensis Alas, he only played 13 of them, too exhausted to play the 14th.
@@mckavitt13, but if I remember correctly, he came back to stage and played Bach-Hess "Jesus bleibet meine Freude". There exists no recording of this from the last concert, but here is an earlier one: th-cam.com/video/EWxQn3N_db0/w-d-xo.html
As a romanian and person born 2 numbers away from his childhood home I'm grateful!
Resignation... this is what is heard in this almost ethereal interpretation of this extraordinary sonata. Lipatti was very ill indeed at the time of this recital, and despite his usual perfect technique, there is a celestial quality to his playing. R.I.P., King of pianists.
Thank you very much, rightman195, I appreciate your comment!
"Celestial" can be rationally equaled with "optimal" (the best). #helpearth #integrativeearthfamilyprotection #nomisleadingreligionbutcommonsenseandreason
Ioana-Noemy Toma #insane
Resignation describes the 2nd mvt. perfectly.
In this sonata Mozart shows what an incredible genius he was. Making such clear statements at such an early age. He wrote this sonata at the age of 21. It's absolutely incomprehensible.
I agree with No Idea for Name. Ioana-Noemy Toma, you ARE insane. Next time you write, don't forget your meds.

There never has been FINER pianist before or since Dinu Lipatti. Every time I think of the radiant brilliance of his recording of The Jester's Morning Song (Alborada del gracisoso) I burst into tears. May be he was just TOO good to live in this brutal world, but what a blessung it was that he was able give as much as he did -- and to leave such a splendid legacy.
I wish there were more recordings. We were lucky that Walter Legge, an impresario of the time, went to a lot of trouble to get together what he could of Lipatti performances after his untimely death. The perfection is extraordinary: there is plenty of technically perfect piano playing on record to listen to but there was a beauty to Lipatti’s performances that just transported you to a different place: I can’t explain it, but one of the greatest moments of my life was when, as I sat in a cafe near the Wigmore Hall waiting for the doors to open before a concert, I heard a piano student talking about Lipatti, and he couldn’t stop. He just gave voice to all my specific thoughts about the great genius, one by one; it was as though he read and recited my thoughts, and it was thrilling.
Marvelous performance by one of the legendary masters of the piano. His early death was a great loss to music.
Neil Stannard And to himself & his loved ones.
this sonata was composed shortly after mozarts mothers death and you can really feel it by the way Lipatti played it
Lipatti had something absolutely unique,it is extremely rare and incredible to be able to combine such a limitless technic and infinite soul,Mozart,Schubert,Bach and all the others would have be shocked to know someone did understood...he knew he had only very little time left that day and he played literally like there is no tomorrow,breath taking !
first movement is a testament of pure excellence
Simplicity, life, power, divine integrity. The best of all pianists. Nobody can compare to him so far.
For me still the ultimate rendition of Mozart's A Minor sonata.
The 2nd movement performed by Dinu Lipatti served as a fail - safe lullaby for my baby daughter as from age 2 months.
5 people voted with their monitor upside down. I don't really understand other reasons why people will dislike this wonderful piece.
+Richard Xu they're jealous they can't play as well as him
Richard Xu These 5 people are idiots !
XUXUXUXXXXXUUUUUUUU WOW YOU BIG BIG BIG BIG SMART IDIOT
idk maybe they didn't like it.
....never mind.

5:09 How does he play so fast and yet makes every note as clear as staccatos? Astonishing technique.
I must say that Dinu Lipatti is what I consider to be the model pianist, the human agent of musical perfection that we all should follow.
He was and still is the King of classical pianist ! RIP ,Dinu .What a loss
I love how he plays the second movement, not dragging it out like some pianists, but keeping the pulse going, so that the 3/4 can be clearly felt. Without that pulse, it drags; with it, it's alive and, as many others have commented, sublime.
Oh I never thought of it that way... a pulse literally keeps you alive...
yes the adagio drags easily and you have to put your soul into it, you have to really put your interpretation capability to work. I was an old time student of the keyboard , and having acquired a good teacher, selected KV310 to try and learn it. For my doing , the result was decent.
Какое прекрасное исполнение!❤Техника потрясающая! Звук рояля теплый и мягкий- это восторг души! Этот пианист непревзойденный мастер! Браво, Дину! Спасибо Тебе за такую интерпретацию гениального творения Моцарта. Ты играешь реально! 🙏😂❤️
Very interesting observation...I felt like that too.. too much drag in classical music renditions
Sometimes it's difficult to make out whether eithth straight time or dotted 😂
It's really astounding: If I play it at 0.75 speed it is just as clear and convincing as at its actual speed. A true master!
This was Lipatti´s farewell .I wonder how many people knowing their time has come could do his "job" till the last day.
I think that Lipatti is one of the most incredible performers in the wordl. Since that age til today he´s a important model for the all the pianists. Wonderfull!
Desde pequena ouço as gravações do Lipatti. É reconhecido pela crítica mundial por exemplo que as Valsas de Chopin ainda não foram superadas por ninguém...
Semplicemente:"Fantastico!!!" Riposa in pace Maestro Dinu Lipatti e proteggi tutti noi da lassu" Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962
Lipatti always sounds so warm and genuine. Thank you for sharing this.
Lipatti was such a fantastic pianist!
The good people in Besançon didn't even know what was going on at this day in their town music hall ...... the best listener and friend of Lipatti at this moment was the microphone .
Oui. D'après google maps, il n'y a à Besançon aucune rue, place, école, conservatoire qui ait adopté le nom de Lipatti. Alors que le monde entier (amateur de musique) connait Besançon pour ce dernier récital de Dinu Lipatti.
Justin Pfiffikus Oui , c'est exact . Je n'avais pas vu les choses ainsi , mais il est parfaitement juste que " Besançon" résonnera pour toujours comme le mythe d'un destin tragique couronné par ce récital inouï . . .
@@justinpfiffikus1072 That would be a worthy cause to advocate for. And you're spot on, I wouldn't know about Besançon if not for this recital, which as been my favorite music since I was six.
@@modularshop6513 belle confirmation ! Par curiosité, de quelle région du monde êtes-vous ? Et souhaitons-nous de pouvoir écouter Lipatti jusqu'à 120 ans!
Apart from his sublime performance, I love the little "noodling" at the start, a practice long since lost
He's modulating from Bach (b flat major) to Mozart (a minor). He must have been one of the last pianists to do this - it was old-fashioned even in his days...
The absolute definitive version of this extraordinarily "Romantic" Sonata for me...I could weep at the beauty of that second movement...thank you for uploading this gem!🙏🏼❤️
the most beautiful performance I have ever listened
That second movement was scary good... especially the slow, sustained lyrical section in the middle.
Giù il cappello, signori, questa è Arte Pura
Thank you❤
абсолютный шедевр Моцарта...гениальное исполнение Липатти...за пятнадцать минут- все оттенки человеческих чувств...целая жизнь.
If somebody only showed me 12:45 - 12:54, I would ask which piece by Brahms is it. I think there are several stages of Mozart appreciation: first, as a musical newbie, you are convinced that he was the biggest musical genius of all time. Then, you venture out to new, wilder and at first glance, more exciting territories, you become familiar with late Beethoven with all its contrapuntal prowess, Liszt with his novelties regarding form and thematic transformations, maybe even Schumann's very tightly and purposefully composed oeuvre, filled with quirks and rhythmic ingenuities where no note is wasted to complete a masterpiece. Maybe you even think by now that somebody like Haydn has a more accomplished output in terms of piano sonatas, because some smart man in a peer-reviewed paper, a publication, or horribile dicti - in a TH-cam comment said so. (for the record, I love Haydn myself) After that, you become familiar with the late romantics: brooding, sweeping melodies and lush harmonies, that tugs on one's heartstrings, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, you name it. Then you follow it up with some of the modernists' works, like Ravel: erotic, decadent extended chords paired with a genial aptitude for tone colour and an evocative, dreamlike soundscape. By this stage, you generally tend to think that the more complicated and elaborate something is, the better. You are also confident, that the abovementioned guys leave Mozart in the dust regarding compositional expertise, and with your newly gained knowledge, you could easily compose something in his "rather rudimentary" style. You open up a sketchbook or a notation program on your computer like a boss, ready to compose. After 5 minutes of staring at empty staves, you get frustrated, ditch the damned thing and realize that you were right in the first place: Mozart was, in fact, the biggest musical genius of all time... The thing is, he makes composing so easy. Also, Dinu Lipatti is one of the few performing artists who I would deem as a genius. He understands these pieces' style so well as a whole, without getting into too many scholarly studies concerning historical performance practice. He can adapt to everything, he plays Chopin just as convincingly and authentically as Bartók.
AMAZING!!!
pure selfless, disinterested musical beauty.
This is it, exactly.
At my piano, I could never reach one note of this world. Never.
14 minutes of ... reverie! Thanks!
SUPERBE INREGISTRARI.!.BRAVO SI MULTMIRI GRUPULUI CE LE=A REALIZAT.DECI MULTUMIRI TUTUROR CELOR DE LA ELECTRECORD
3:32 Young pianists do listen!!! A genius is sitting at the piano stool!!!
Gorgeous!
Hoy se cumplen 63 años sin él.
Quede por siempre en nuestros corazones y mentes su gran persona y su excepcional forma de hacer MÚSICA.
Prodigioso! Peccato che sia scomparso prematuramente. Restano le sue magistrali esecuzioni.
Sans aucun doute un des disques les plus importants. Celui qui m'a marqué pour la vie.
Wonderful upload, thanks a lot!
Mit Bravour gönnt Lipatti einem der dramatischsten Mozart-Sonaten eine unübertroffen perlende und variationsreiche Spielfreude, die niemals unter dem Pedal leidet. Dem entgegen setzt er wunderschön die unterschiedlichen Kantilenen des 2. Satzes und endet überzeugend schlüssig mit der so wichtigen Leichtigkeit als Auflösung im 3.Satz. Zum Glück einmal die gesamte Sonate und nicht nur virtuose Selbstbefriedigung. Wunderbar!
This is what music is supposed to sound like. Period. End of story.
Légèreté, mélancolie, tout en même temps.
Dinu lipatti- a true romenian- love it
Thank you for sharing this pleasant, but solemn moment.
5:42 . This second movement . Lipatti at his piano . Already half dead . Leucemia . He doesn't ask himself the eternal question : "how is Mozart actually to be played ?" . No . He plays . The music suddenly springs up out of the keyboard . The listener has not even the time to ask himself if this is "good" or "bad" .... this is it , this is here as ... what is this? Notes at the very upper limit of breathable , high , very high , where you'll never go , the frontier of the known world .... Mozart and Lipatti , hand in hand on the unspeakable limit .... 8:33 ....
Fritz Maisenbacher You are right. He just plays.
+Fritz Maisenbacher (GA4N) 8:33 excel..
I love all your comments
Nice words Fritz
Fritz Maisenbacher You have some thing to say here & you say it. Thank you.
best KV310 ever played.
just amazing
C'est de loin la meilleure version que j'ai eu plaisir d'écouter !
Tu etais presente dans la salle ou il interprete?
what amazing sensitivity to the music and the colors of the piano... thanks for this!
In my opinion Dinu is right best top 10 ever!
Hi daed 33 , hi was Best all time.
Grazie infinite!!!!!! Molto gentile!!! Stupendo.
a very rare moment indeed! Love his passion in the opening...and the ornaments which
tumble out of his fingers subsequently..lovely alberti bass...and the ticking of the
treble runs
Great posting! Thank you Dagmar Krug
Beautiful! Thanks!
Amazing. Thank you for this.
Sublime
Recuerdo a mi padre mientras escucho.
Un jardín en forma de paleta de pintor, una buhardilla y Mozart.
A genius died too young, a great lost to the world!
Wow.....I have this CD and I can just say....one of my favorite interpreters of this sonata, and other things he has played. Wonderful pianist! :)
beautiful!
Absolument sublime!
Une telle sûreté de jeu qu'on a l'impression qu'il ne peut jamais aller à la faute. On pourrait discuter longtemps sur le bien fondé du tempo infernal du 1er mouvement et le manque d'oxygène que cela sous entend, mais tant que l'artiste ne commet aucune erreur on ne peut se permettre de critiquer. On pourrait se demander aussi pourquoi en 1950 et avec des moyens plus restreints qu'aujourd'hui on prenait la peine d'enregistrer les concerts lors d'un festival alors qu'aujourd'hui c'est quelque chose de facile à réaliser et qu'on le fait très peu.
Grazie! thank you. very much.
Unique !
to bad there's not even one single video of lipatti playing...:-(
Or any recording of him playing Beethoven...
Wonderful!
Wonderful musician..
@billyguns2 There is some unpublished audio from this recital that has rapturous applause with cheers. There were only 300 people or so there, and Lipatti looked quite unwell, so I suspect that the atmosphere was not initially conducive to such loud applause - there was apparently quite a heavy vibe in the hall. If you listen to the end of his Mozart Concerto at Lucerne, you can hear that the audience erupts rapturously, so it is definitely nothing to do with European audiences.
Блестяще! Именно таким я и представляю исполнение этой Сонаты.
Remember guys, this is live, no second tries, no cuts.
Yes, it's unfortunate that he made one mistake close to the very end...
I think it was one and a half close to 2
@@OlJackBurton No, it's not unfortunate. It's the very best that anybody has ever rendered this piece and that one mistake doesn't diminish it at all. He's not a robot, after all, and given his condition at the time it is amazing we have this recording at all. Lesser men would have not played rather than played this incredible rendition with that one mistake, which really isn't worth focusing on. Focus on the other notes instead and be moved.
@@pianojacq remember he was very ill that time. He died after, anyway.
@@carmenmoldoveanu4897 Did you miss my 'given his condition at the time' bit?

Dear me Lipatti i love you

Thank you so much!!!!
insuperabile!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great work and Mozart was sweet poem sung by Nature it self..........
Mozart was too sweet. He died for his perfection.
I feel it's the best technique .
I was interested to see Dinu Lipatti is playing a Gaveau in this recital.
A very nice instrument, I'd say. A lot of character in the different registers.
なんと、端正で澄みきったモーツァルト、唯一無二。大好きです🎵🎶😥😥でも、もう天国に行ってしまわれたのですね😢😢😭😭
8 people voted "thumb down" . I have to know why . Absolutely . Please answer . Say something .
Sick humour? ;-) Now, down into your grave.
Thank you for the wording you provide: "where you'll never go, the frontier of the known world..." I look for frontiers ever farther on the map, among languages and cultures, and in scientific research. But since I first heard this recording (in teenage, from the EMI "Références" edition) I was brought to "the unspeakable limit". The feeling remains strangely unchanged over the decades
Alexis Michaud Yes , "strangely unchanged" , yes ...
Frirz Maisenbacher - Two of them were tone deaf, one misclicked, one coudn't read English and was trying to say he liked it, one man with ulcers dislikes everything, one from the Islamic State thinks that all music is sinful, one is a low grade moron and one actually disliked it because he thought he can play it better than Dinu.

I do not want to insist that I listened to more music than you, may be, you listened to more. Of course, it is a little exaggeration to say that the best pianists are not comparable, they are comparable. and I compare them. When I compare, I may say, who's interpretation, technique, sound, intonations, dynamics, integrity are better. I am sure that Lipatti's have been better so far.
I've ever heard this sonata another take of this pianist
Pity this Besancon recording is so poor. The music makes you wish you were there. Lipatti deserves every bit of his reputation.
Great
This is pitched a little high and therefore a shade faster than it should sound
great speed (y)
Qué pasión impetuosa, bellísimo¡¡
Pocos pianistas estan a su altura.
Moooooolto bravo
Muy bueno el interprete..a la altura de los mejores del mundo.....

The truth about Mozart.
素敵です
Dios mío! that´s why I believe in God :D
perhaps they are not used to poor sound recording? A great pianist!
He preludizes!
Man, I really wish that something you said made sense
