This month we also introduce a taste of the artistry of a STEINWAY IMMORTAL, the great Romanian pianist Dinu Lipatti, with re-creations of two Chopin waltzes — signature repertory of this Artist recorded in 1950, the final year of his tragically short career.

And finally, the Beethoven anniversary continues with Zhenni Li performing a less-known work, the 32 Variations on an Original Theme, Wo0 80.
