Dinu Lipatti’s legendary interpretation of the Chopin E minor concerto (Tonhalle Zurich 1950) has already been published several times. Based on a newly found copy of Radio Bern in combination with other sources archiphon has once again remastered not only the concerto, but also the solo pieces, played by Lipatti in the second part of the concert – both for the first time in the correct pitch (A=440Hz) and without wow and flutter.
In 1947 Lipatti and his friend Antonio Janigro made test recordings for Columbia in Zurich, from which original 78rpm discs were at our disposition. These recordings are the only examples of Lipatti playing chamber music from the standard repertoire (he accompanied Enescu in recordings of two of the violinist-composer's Violin Sonatas). The 1st movement of Beethoven’s Cello Sonata Op.69 and an Andante by Bach have never been released before.
