Notes from the Booklet: ….. Lipatti's star still shines on us today, and its light is brighter than ever. The reasons are not all strictly musical. "The greatness of the early genius", "the Saint amongst pianists", and other adulatory haloes are still uttered today, obscuring the truth more than anything else. Such misunderstandings emanate from his very limited discography, which led some critics to conclude that Lipatti had learned and mastered but two piano concertos and one recital. The truth is rather different, however: Lipatti performed in public 23 different works for piano and orchestra, and his repertoire contined six complete piano recital programmes. A separate list in this booklet show how extensive his repertoire really was….." [lines by Marc Gertsch/Werner Unger and translated by Mark Ainley]
