'Among the great virtues of Lipatti's playing are his wonderful precision, his rhythmical treatment of the left-hand chords, his refusal to give way at any point to mere romanticising. I was continuously both interested and enchanted from start to finish and regard this recording as a highlight in the history of the gramophone.' Gramophone Magazine
