This IS horowitz certainly,

This is his way of playing the piano.

[phanhonganh]

[Nijmegen1955]

The MAESTRO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alexx1879]

totaly amazing, he was brillant

[egooidios]

hearing pages and cuts during this means one doesn't LISTEN!

[LesterWong2]

An obvious cut at 1:13

Ehh, what the hell is this??

[tx647]

It actually sounds only vaguely like Horowitz. I was doubting if this was authentic--maybe just a fluke? Could it be that some technically talented kid recorded this and posted as the Horowitz version?

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

This is really him.

[boomzxz]

Correct, it's really him.

[writerspleasure]

this is horowitz - it was the concert version he was thinking of doing in 1957 - it's mentioned in some of the known literature.

i hear a page turning at 2:09

[suellio]

I hear another page turning at 6:19

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I think this is the best version out of all the variations he recorded! Thanks for re-uploading this masterwork! =)

This rather unkown VH Carmen Fantasy was a test record taken during regular recording session in May 1957.

[teoakinyel]

when did he record this version.

[writerspleasure]

1957.

[monicaspinosi]

Thank you indeed for uploading. Beautiful

Love this version and have been wanting to hear it for many years. Thanks for bringing it out of hiding.

It look like the Horowitz's carmen variation mixed with the Scriabin Etude Op.2 No.1. on the slow passage. Really strange version. An horowitz with not all his fury ;) tnanks for posting

[cziffra1980]

Interesting point! I never noticed how similar the melodies are before this.
