3.0 out of 5 stars Better Lipatti Is Found Elsewhere, May 11 2004
By Jeffrey Lipscomb (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dinu Lipatti and Clara Haskil were the greatest pianists that Romania ever produced. Lipatti was tragically cut down by leukemia in his early 30's and made only a handful of records. Unfortunately, neither of these particular performances show him at his best - and both are available elsewhere in somewhat better sound. Lipatti confided to his friends that he really chafed under the "classical" restrictions imposed by Karajan in this Schumann recording. His far better and more poetic live 1950 account with Ansermet was once available on London CD 425968-2, coupled with Haskil's lovely 1947 Beethoven 3rd with Carlo Zecchi and the London Philharmonic. Other accounts of the Schumann piano concerto that I cherish are the wonderfully rapt live account with Walter Gieseking and Furtwangler (now in a DG box set), the Benno Moiseiwitsch/Otto Ackermann/Philharmonia on Testament, the Yves Nat/Eugene Bigot account on Dante, Gulda/Andreae and the VPO on Decca, and Haskil's recording with Otterloo and the Hague Philharmonic on a Phillips CD. I am a great admirer of Sviatoslav Richter, but I think all of these are preferable to him in the concerto. Most of these CDs are sadly out of print - they are most definitely worth hunting down.

I have never found Lipatti (or, for that matter, Solomon) all that magical in the Grieg piano concerto. In stereo I prefer Curzon/Fjelstad (coupled with the Gulda/Andreae Schumann on Decca). The live Michelangeli concert performance on BBC Legends (with de Burgos) is quite simply the most dazzling on disc - and I am generally not much of a Michelangeli fan.

Bottom line: I would pass on this CD. There are simply too many superior alternatives worth hearing.

3.0 out of 5 stars I Love Dinu Lipatti and Dutton, but..., Jun 13 2003
By Michael B. Richman (Portland, Maine USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Don't get this CD! The reason is that the exact same recording of the Grieg Concereto is available on an EMI References CD that couples it with Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 (Otto Ackermann/Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich). Furthermore, the very same Schumann Concerto is available on an EMI "Great Recordings of the Century" disc that also features Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto (Karajan/Lucerne Festival Orchestra). Lipatti is so good, and his recordings so scarce, that anyone interested in him should not settle on purchasing just two concertos when for a little more money they can get four. I am surprised that Dutton released this, they are usually so good about licensing and issuing unique historical recordings. I hope Dutton doesn't turn into another Classica D'Oro -- with them you have to really pay attention in order not to buy redundant product!
