Dinu Lipatti's Birthday.

He was born on March 19 1917, but Romania used a different calendar to many other countries at the time...so it would be April 1 under today's system.

Here's his amazing recording of Ravel's "Alborada Del Gracioso".



A supremely beautiful reading of Busoni's piano transcription of Bach's "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ":



The first movement of Schumann's Piano Concerto. Herbert von Karajan conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra with Lipatti as soloist. Lipatti's is my favourite performance of the cadenza.
