Amazing......

When was this recorded? Or at least do you know if it's pre-war or post-war? It's almost eerie, listening to this and knowing what the poor man had to go through... :(

I love his interpretations of Chopin. Horowitz seemed too fast for my taste. This is just right. Thanks for posting.

[1brewski2]

@NettieSpaghetti7 This is also on the fast side. But very good. I never thought Horowitz was fast. Now I have to check him out.

Oh, Chopin!

[AtomicFireIce]

I wish the video quality would have been better. Then, I could have compared his playing to other pianists'.

[modelstatue]

Wasn't this the main character in that movie The Pianist? Wasn't he played by Adrien Brody? Amazing how we get to hear the real person play! He is truly amazing!

[puchalaka]

How i wish there were more pictures of Chopin and a recording of his playing!!
