Horowitz in Amsterdam 1986 - Rehearsal and interview (2/2)

[davidofpiano423]

Lmao! 5:03

[Sorcerer88]

not so interesting interview questions: why did you do this tour, why are you so popular, how do you get into the mind of a composer, would you like to hear records of chopin and liszt... though of course Horowitz is an intelligent and humble person, so his answers are still enjoyable to a degree.

Who was the inept wanker interviewing the great Maestro?.

[marcvold]

Does someone know what piece he is playing at the end? 

[tonyma02]

@marcvold Schubert's 3rd Impromptu

[marcvold]

@tonyma02 Thanks!

[aardvaark069]

such gentle singing playing at the end.

[Bluetooth6483]

Well, Horowitz's nose had some fine acoustic features!!

[elie1292]

Does it really matter ? I think we should just be grateful to have this tape on Youtube.

[RoyalDecapitation]

2:37 Well...no

[utubuser10]

...little did he know...youtube happened...the hypocrisy of an artist...doesn't like to stay too much in america but will choose to be its citizen...i find this very offending being a naturalized citizen myself and grateful beyond words that i was given the opportunity to become a citizen of the greatest nation on earth.

[titusbeertsen]

@utubuser10 "greatest nation on earth", hm maybe it's time you take a look across the border, and see that there are other nations equally good or even better (in any kind of way; economically, culturally, mentally, etc.). I actually had to laugh when Horowitz said that, as he thought almost no-one would hear it except some dutch people. Don't take it too seriously, aren't there much more important things than chauvinism, for example: Music? ;) Greets, Titus

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

will only be shown on dutch television... not no more since its on YT

[townsendjean]

The interviewer was young and naive ... albeit quite enamored with horowitz.

The maestro was on the other hand remarkably patient and polite. There were some scintillating glimpses of his sense of humor and general character. Pleasant and very likeable overall.

[bboymango]

The interviewer should not have interrupted Horowitz when he started speaking. A good interviewer must be a very good listener for the first place. This young man, however, seems to have wanted just one thing; to impress himself to the viewer or maybe even to the distinguished pianist infront of him. If he had tried to listen to Horowitz with due respect, Horowitz would have told him much more intersting, insightful or enlightening things.

[artymowycz]

@nqd20437 the interview was done 25 years ago, things were done a little differently back then i think.

[hillmeu]

@nqd20437 this is the way an interview is don in the netherlands (not to critisise you)

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Many thanks for uploading. I heard many pianists in concert: Cherkassky, Pires, Earl Wild, Emanuel Ax, Lang Lang etc. But Horowitz, he's fundamentally different, he's the essence of piano music.

[horowitz109]

Grazie per questi documenti di eccezionale interesse !

[BRENDANGCARROLL]

Wonderful!

[AfroPoli]

Interesting. But that's a very annoying interviewer.
