Dinu Lipatti: The September 24, 1947 Abbey Road Recordings

The three recordings that Dinu Lipatti produced for at EMI's Abbey Road Studio No.3 on September 24, 1947: 0:00 Bach-Hess Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring 3:33 Chopin Waltz No.2 in A-Flat Major Op.34 No.1 8:08 Liszt Sonetto del Petrarca No.104 All of these works are pieces that the pianist had attempted to record before. At this session (which took place from 6 to 9pm), Lipatti made three attempts at each of the four 78rpm disc sides, with the exception of the first of two sides of the Liszt work, of which only two takes were made. The three takes that Lipatti made of the Bach transcription on this day were takes 5 through 7 of those he'd made that year (having started at his first Abbey Road session on February 20) and it was the final one that was approved and published. It should be noted that he rerecorded the work in 1950 and that is the version that circulated most regularly for decades - the 1947 account was never released on LP (despite some records having put this date) and it was reissued for the first time on APR's 1999 CD of Dinu Lipatti's 1947 Columbia Recordings. The Chopin Waltz and Liszt Sonetto had first been recorded by Lipatti at his first Columbia session in Zurich in July 1946, along with Liszt's La Leggierezza. The masters for those discs warped in transit to London, as when transfers were attempted in October 1946 (often mistakenly listed as the recording date) it was found that the damage was too severe to issue them. Lipatti's September 24, 1947 Abbey Road session saw the first two works being successfully recorded again. Regrettably Lipatti made no further attempts at La Leggierezza, but he played this piece on a BBC broadcast the next day and a copy of that - captured on a home disc cutter and then transferred to tape - was located (by yours truly) and was issued in 1995. At the same BBC broadcast, Lipatti had also played the same Chopin Waltz and a Chopin Etude - probably Op.10 No.2, which he had been practicing that during breaks of his Grieg Concerto recording sessions a week earlier (there is no indication that he attempted to record this work commercially). This Chopin Waltz was the one that Lipatti would most commonly program when playing a variety of Chopin works in his recital programs, and he actually made an earlier recording of it for Romanian Radio in 1941 (it has not been issued). It is also the Waltz that he began but was unable to play at his last recital (a recording of that portion of the concert has not been located), the final one in the group of 14 that he had programmed. This 1947 account features far more vivacious bravura than his later more famous recording from the complete cycle recorded in Geneva in July 1950 - a sign of how powerful a pianist Lipatti was before Hodgkin's Disease tightened its grip. This version was available on LP only twice to my knowledge: on a 1971 UK LP and on a 1981 4-LP box set issued both in the US and the UK. Lipatti had a great affinity for the works of Liszt but the only existing studio recording of him playing this composer is this Sonetto del Petrarca No.104; fortunately this has now been supplemented by a 1941 radio recording of Gnomenreigen, the 1947 BBC broadcast of La Leggierezza referred to above, and a June 6, 1947 concert recording of the Liszt 1st Concerto. His declamatory emphasis and lyrical phrasing, with idiomatic contrasts between his stunningly refined pianissimo and boldly accented dramatic exclamations, make this a most arresting interpretation. These three performances were first issued together in APR's 1999 CD Dinu Lipatti: The 1947 Columbia Recordings and are now available in a more recent expanded 2-CD set on the same label entitled Dinu Lipatti: The Complete Columbia Recordings 1947-48. I wrote the notes for both of these releases, the second featuring a lot of detail about Lipatti's recorded output (including the further debunking of pervasive myths about his recording career) and the performances themselves.
