Dinu Lipatti was a true musical genius. His talents on the piano were so obviously extraordinary. Just listening to him play, we can all attest to that. Romania must surely be extremely proud of him. Clearly, he was a national treasure. It is a tragedy that he died so young—at the tender age of 33 years—of Hodgkin’s disease in December 1950. His passing was a great loss not only to Romania, but also to the world. R.I.P. – © Mark Alexander
