Dinu Lipatti (1917-1950) is soloist in this recording, released in the US on the Columbia label in 1953, of "Ich ruf' zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ," as transcribed for piano by Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924). This work is contained in Busoni's "Ten Chorale Preludes," KiV B27/3. I created this music video from the LP shown above, serial number ML 4633.
I have included in this video the May 2, 1953 Billboard magazine review of this LP. At the close of this video are images from the reverse side of the jacket, including the full text of the notes about Lipatti and his performance.
