Dinu Lipatti 2 - Sonate Für Klavier Nr 3 H-moll Op.58 / Barcarole Fis-dur Op.60 / Mazurka Nr.32 Cis-moll Op.50 Nr.3 / Nocturne Nr.8 Des-dur Op.27 Nr. 2

This recording captures the legendary Romanian pianist Dinu Lipatti performing works by Frédéric Chopin. Released on the Dacapo label, the compilation features the Sonata No. 3 in B minor, the Barcarolle in F-sharp major, the Mazurka in C-sharp minor, and the Nocturne in D-flat major. Lipatti is widely considered one of the twentieth century's most significant interpreters of Chopin, renowned for his technical precision and profound emotional depth, despite a career tragically cut short by illness at the age of thirty-three.

The Dacapo series, under which this catalog number was issued, was established to preserve historical EMI recordings of classical performances. These particular performances reflect Lipatti’s final studio sessions and live recitals from the late 1940s. The recordings are celebrated by audiophiles and classical music historians for their clarity and the intimate, authoritative quality of Lipatti’s touch, serving as a definitive reference for how these Chopin masterpieces were understood during the mid-twentieth century.
