  • Dinu Lipatti's recording from July 9, 1950 of Mozart's Sonata No. 8 in A Minor, K.310. The recording was part of Lipatti's valedictory studio recordings for EMI, made at Radio Geneve in July 1950 when the record company sent a van of equipment to record the ill pianist as he enjoyed a brief remission from the illness that would eventually kill him. This particular recording took place on a Sunday that was particularly productive in the 10 days of recordings from July 3 to 12. Lipatti had recorded the Bach Partita in the morning and would record some more Chopin waltzes in the evening after having completed this Sonata. Lipatti's dramatic emphasis and strong sense of lyricism brings tremendous pathos to this reading, which has remained a classic 60 years since it was first recorded.

    This is the best recording of this sonata I have ever heared. This is really outstanding!
    Mozart and Lipatti live forever in our hearts

    I know that Mozart was not a sailor, but in the section strating at 1:50, I feel like I'm on the deck of a ship...watching an unexpected storm rolling in over calm seas, foreshadowing an uncertain fate. In this performance, Lipatti makes me feel the water from rising swells...

    Why do people have to say that only one emotion or even emotions that have names to us should be how a piece of music should be interpreted by the performer. There is beauty in deep anguish, there is just plain beauty, and then there is Mozart. I think we should just all try and go on the ride Mozart takes us on. There aren't enough words to convey Mozart and so I think there is no point in trying. This is such a beautiful, soul enhancing/taking piece of music it should be just as it is. It is why it is such posed. Let it be and let it flow.

      I agree. As Mendelssohn put it perfectly: the emotions expressed by the music I love are not too indefinite to be put into words, but on the contrary, too definite.

    Very accurate, very beautiful. He was a great pianist and died too young.
    But is beauty what this sonata is about? Should it not create a sense of deep anguish and tragedy that rips your heart out?

      @@reflechant Steinway didn't even produce pianos during Mozart's life 1756-91! :P But there is nothing wrong to play it on a Bechstein (as I guess Lipatti used here)! Only historic interested musician's like Harnoncourt state that Mozart should be played on "historic instruments" ...
