Horowitz in London (Scarlatti, Chopin, Schumann, Rachmaninov, Scriabin)

[Nganguenf]

La fameuse interprétation où il a merveilleusement joué cette étude de Scriabine qui jusqu'à aujourdh'ui me dépasse toujours!

Incroyable Horowitz, et quand je passe qu'il frôlait déjà la centaine!!!!!!!!

This is the famous interpretation where he masterised the dreadful Scriabin's Etud Op.8/12.

In much the same way Price Charles wanted to be Mrs Parker Bowles tampax, I want to be that handkerchief!

[jonjon1957jonjon]

This is wonderful to have the whole concert with one presumes gone BBC sound. It's fascinating to be able to compare his performances over time.

Nell'esecuzione si comporta come un compositore che scrive una partitura,cioè conscio di ciò che esegue

[vjelis123]

Si  può dire ciò che si vuole a proposito di Vladimir, ma non si può negare che dia il giusto valore a ogni nota nell'esecuzione musicale, e che tragga dalla musica ciò che c'è in essa contenuto come gli attori in teatro recitano un testo denso di significati, e mantenga con ciò desta l'attenzione dell'ascoltatore.

what does he put in the piano before he plays "god save the queen"? please tell!

[ancientsolar]

@TheCornguy That would be his tissue he cleans himself with, every pianist should have one!

[712Stephen]

@TheCornguy His handkerchief.

[ancientsolar]

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for this Scriabin performance for a while.

Horowitz's alwaysteach us something about music, life and our humanity. This is why he was the best for me. When I hear this Scriabin, I feel like I can hear the bombs going off from WW2 and the tragedy of the war as well.
