this song makes me want to cry, cause i heard this when i was little looking at the adventures of milo and otis (childhood movie). Reminds me of the good times i wish i cud go back to wen i had no work to worry about, tho im only 16. I WISH I WAS A KID AGAIN! :(

I represent the senior citizens who can't play fast or complicated pieces. Instead, we work to make anything we play as musical as possible. These pieces, and this performance show what is possible, if not attainable.

[annedianna]

Wonderful clip. Great info you have provided. Thanks.

Remember the intro scene of Conan the Barbarian?

The pillaging horde rides to the first movement(listen 0:30 onwards).

Conan OST: Riddle of Steel/Riders of Doom 1:35 onwards.

One of the best Fantasy movies ever BTW.

Anyone else notice?

This music tellls u wht a pianist really knows.We can all move fast fingers but can we judge pedal&attacks so finely that it is as if a voice was singingArgerich,Moisewitsch,Ho­ro can!

[yiyiku]

too beautiful for words

[rstrstx]

A beautiful recording, it shows that Horowitz was the master of this work, easy to play but so hard to play right. It's the little things that make it stand out; where most artists often stomp through the seemingly simple pieces like #5 (Glukes genug) or #8 (Am kamin) Horowitz's restraint makes them sing in a way that eludes others. Also love the dramatic dry way he ends #9 (Ritter) and the overall dreamy mood present, especially towards the end. Easily my favorite rendition I've heard online

[LNW89]

this music is soooo wonderful!

[tatalito]

I love it!, and played by Claudio Arrau too.

[DonQuixote2343]

whenever i hear this, i think of milo and otis... a cute pug pup and an orange kitten romping in fields of green.

[itsuo]

[shela2]

Very pleasing version by dear Horowitz , The piano tone is beautiful,

[cattleman6420012000]

This is so musically played with real musical sensitivity and lovely interpretation. Horowitz produced true magic.

[Tooninoot]

Wish I could play piano like this. :p Hell, wish I could play it at all, hehe.

[americanhindi]

The best version of these songs on YouTube. I keep replaying them again and again.

Beautiful.

The high quality audio info in the video is helpful.

Thank you for this great music.

[mahlerite]

you're welcome, my friend. listening to these movements is a nostalgic mental journey for me.

[bilni2009]

@americanhindi: yes, it is. the very best version. so clear and transparent. thank you mahlerite...

[manila1909]

I really enjoy this song. It's very relaxing. Thanks for posting!

[Sinfoniette]

Y'know, Horowitz's Kinderszenen (especially the extremely popular Traumerei) seems to be his signature piece. (With his Rachmaninoff 3, of course!)

[mahlerite]

his rendition of Traumerei is so lyrical, soothing, and sensitive, and his tempo flows perfectly. after Schumann himself, it definitely sounds like one of Horowitz's babies.

[Sinfoniette]

Oddly, I find Schumann's Waldszenen a bit fond than Kinderszenen. A bit unpopular compared to the Kinderszenen, but great as well. Have you heard the Arrau recording of the Kinder/Waldszenen and the Carnaval?
