Glenn Gould plays the Toccata from J.S. Bach's Partita No.6 in E Minor.

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's studio recording of Ferruccio Busoni's piano transcription of Bach's Chaconne. One of the more incredible piano recordings I've ever heard.

Nathan Milstein plays the Chaconne from Bach's Partita for Solo Violin in D Minor. One of the greatest pieces of music ever written receiving a worthy performance.

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.
