Scarlatti Sonata in A Major K 322 Horowitz Rec 1951

[sdorr]

Yes, his Scarlatti was hypnotizing, and was the highest level of musical storytelling.

I just hope that I get my LPs digitized before I depart this world!!!

Brilliant, Scarlatti finally getting rep

sparkling, dazzling, yet understated at the same time. My god do I love this performance

[000270298]

I'm in heaven.

I don't know much about classical music nor do i listen to it much but every time i hear good musicians play it gives me a good feeling.

Perfect tempo...too slow kills the joy, faster than this kills the melody!:>

[lllllllllllllll88]

I love how he plays this. He ususally plays the Scarlatti Sonatas as encores. Love them.

Curieusement Horowitz adopte un tempo assez lent du moins dans cette version, che CBS (Sony) il me parait plus énergique ...?

Such refine expression.

Thank you

Secondo me non c'e' nessuno che puo' suonare Scarlatti come H. Nessuno.

[tervedeuxi]

ARTURO BENEDETTI MICHELANGELI la suona perfettamente oserei dire da DIO. Horowotiz....la suona... .

Buona giornata.

@mipiacetrazom : Beh, se parliamo di "suonare Scarlatti come si deve", allora non c'e' che Ross o Daltone, ma sul clavicembalo. Con tutta la gioia che provo nell'ascoltare lo S. di Horowitz o Michelangeli, il "vero" S. e' da sentire eseguito sul cembalo (o fortepiano per alcune sonate)... differenza enorme e rilevante, sia storicamente che come timbro e risultato musicale ... pero' certo, i gusti son gusti ;-)

yes. Horowitz was 2 people a showman an imenseley profound artist capable of the nost beautiful rendition of SCHumann ( not easy) and Scarlatti and Clementi. Now a showman?........... No. An absolute Saint of music. an ambassador for real art, real piano playing not fake and sublime poetry. Thankss

[pianopera]

I absolutely agree with your statement, and you could add the Chopin Mazurka's - nobody played them with more nostalgia, poetry and refinement.
