This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing! I'm so sorry about not getting that tape of David Smith to you yet! I'm going to try to re-transfer it onto my computer and see if I can improve the sound quality a little bit.
The American Horowitz, I believe it now. He makes many departures from Vladimir's performances, but somehow he succeeds in making it his own. Very lovely lyricism, effective tempo changes, and quite convincing.
Has taken Horowitz's Carmen variations and has made them his own. Love the approach....and apparently the pianist transcribed Horowitz's interpretation himself. Amazing feat.
how wonderful to hear more from the excellent now-being-rediscovered pianist who was your father. a dreamy, creative take on a piece many pianists are trying their hands at.

@kasyapa I guess he hasn't been on YouTube for a long time... As of right now, his profile says the last time he logged on was September 12, 2010...
