Vladimir Horowitz - Last Romantic - Outtakes

[BuBbLexGuMxTrAsH]

master of bring colour to a piece the end is amazing hes such a cute wee man!

[Layna8]

for a man of his age, at the time, this was amazing tonal quality, finger dexterity and utter perfection of every note...but, you haven't heard anything til you hear him play Rachmaninoff...love it.

L.

[jaws93]

Such a touching ending, you can tell how much he loves and identifies with the music he plays! I find range of tonal colour that Horowitz achieves astonishing - every single note has clearly been carefully considered and it results in a real sense of communication in every single phrase. Magical playing...

[SoberMarco]

what's the name of the song at @00:37

[Balgig]

@SoberMarco, its Mozarts turkish march :)

[oaoJ69Joao]

The position and form of Horowitz hand's are perfect!

[Chewy7771]

Man, I wish I had a steinway in my living room.

[nathan87]

fuck, at 81? *facepalm*

[TheFoodforthoughts]

Those four people must have clicked the thumbs down by accident?

[Jarao1000]

Look at those finger movements and listen to the muscial emotions. The instrument is a part of his body. He was a Good.

[chang7081]

May anybody explain the story about Paul muni (?I hope I was right) in the film？just can't follow it......

[ytschlittk]

his hands are like octopuses

[ace666999]

Lucky for him and us that he didnt get arthiritis or we might not have been even be able to seen him play like this :D

[BuridansEsel1]

Is it possible to buy the whole documentary movie anywhere?

[metalaxer13]

3:25

"yawn... this is nothing"

[Anton338]

this guy is magical. oh my godd how crisp, light! SO much feeling!! :D

[richclayderman]

he shouldave lived another century at least...

[aspergershawn]

how wonderful - the look on his face after finishing Au bord d'une source. thanks for the video

[FishGush]

such people like horowitz deserve so much more.. I'm one of many many people he touched with his sensitive feeling and personality.. RIP maestro, you have give us so much..

[tpbricknw]

Horowitz and Krystian Zimerman are a tie for my favourite pianist.

[Ilya2193]

@tpbricknw + Richter, Gilels, and Rubinstein

[FishGush]

no words can describe.. heart touching performance of au bord d´une source..

[oreonyamnyam]

i have that piano.. oh my, i hope i can play like that T_T

[slicerprime]

Who else has ever even come close to Horowitz? Maybe Rachmaninoff himself. Certainly no one since then.

[katkula]

@slicerprime You are absolutely right!!

[databasemarketer]

He is a genius which the world could not produce today. He has a personal connection to the music and that is what is different about him and many of the early pianists. They lived the music. Today it's marketing and technique. Butts in the seats. Nobody better. Perfect in every way.

[PLichnowsky]

I love the way Horowitz plays this piece. Especially from 09:16-17, it is as if he uses different notes than the original, but he does not. I've scrutinized the sheet and tried different ways of playing it, but never with the same harmony.. He is a true master!

[kwongin]

@PLichnowsky Yes, he does have a way to bring out sounds that nobody else can. I also suspect the piano has something to do with it, too. Sounds silly to say, but he really is at one with the instrument hich means he chose it very well.

[mimepelj]

amazing

[carlobraze]

what does he play after 35 seconds???

thanks

[24link135]

"Rondo alla turc" (Turkish March), W.A. Mozart

[John19182004]

@carlobraze "Rondo all turca" it's the 3rd movement of a Mozart Piano Sonata, the exact number eludes me right now.

[stagesix6]

do want moskovsky, maybe?

SURE!

[OzzyKingofKings]

Three words: Black Key Etude.

[Und1ne]

First thing I thought of when he was playing it...

Didn't lang lang play that with an orange?

LOL

[bernie10025]

Lang Lang is a shallow imbecile not fit to lick shit off the bottom of Horowitz's shoes... that video (which I've seen) is one of many reasons this is the case.

[Chaney547]

@bernie10025 Look i agree Horowitz is a better pianist but you dont have to degrade other pianist to do so. Yes i see Lang lang has many contervisal interpertations but im pretty sure horowitz wouldnt want people to say that about other pianists

[Dermeisterammac]

whats the name of the song he´s playing for the first 25 seconds?

horowitz is the greatest pianist ever!

[Rhogitrad]

F. Liszt's 'Au bord d'une source'

[ProteusX2]

the ending made me tear up

:'-(

Rest in great peace Horowitz.

[StrmUndDrng]

3:33 how can he play octaves liek taht at his age?????

[karazh]

80 years training? ;)

[eraserheaderzzz]

what was his best song ever played???

[Chuckles543]

Wow, Horowitz was a charming old man. Wish I knew him.

[JacksonAK92]

horowitz was the man.

[johnl5r3w]

hes amazing, how can anyone remeber all the scores!!

[PianistDoGuSS]

he is great!

[OrangeSodaKing]

"Listen, you want the Moszkowski maybe?"

"No, no it's fine, it's-"

(cut off by Horowitz playing the Moszkowski etude)

Lol what an interesting character.

[Und1ne]

LOL was just about to post that

[OrangeSodaKing]

Geez, it's all so easy for him.

[douchie336]

oh my godddddddddd what pedalss... it's so beautigul and amazing.. what colors..

[theoryjoe]

Horowitz is the best, basically.

[czechman121]

wow

[feroceimperioso]

What is the song he is playing at the end?

[gmartinico]

Liszt - Années de Pèlerinage, Première Année: Suisse. No. 4 Au Bord d'une Source

[feroceimperioso]

I love Him!

[roshanak2723]

He is so sweet , like an angle!!

[musicolorhythm]

Hasta siempre, maestro de los maestros.

[sohando]

HE'S AN ANGEL

[AurynOfAsia]

Genius.

[tatka07]

which piece is it at 0:14 please?

[jero13595]

The ending of Liszt's Au Bord d'une Source.

[rachm06]

assurdo, a vederlo suonato da lui lo studio di chopin pare il pezzo più facile del mondo!

[Student939393]

The best version of the "Black Key" etude, in my opinion.

[jero13595]

Yes, a pity indeed... By the way, what happened to your videos may I ask?

[AngelicaTross]

It happened a few days ago. I logged in and they were gone. Maybe I had posted something copyrighted, although I do not believe so.

[chrisb0000]

-"Listen you want the Moszkowski maybe?"

-"NO!"

-"NO this is not..."

(starts playing)

LOL!!!

[spike2133876]

funny faces:

1:00-1:01:yes those bastards are paying us for ths one

[annet1003]

i feel like crying at the end, too, seeing how he enjoyed playing the piano, that look, so much emotion in it, so touching!!

[DERICR]

At 0:45 Mr. Horowitz is playing an excerpt from "POLKA de W.R." by Rachmaninoff.

[morakeo]

it's a part from his Carmen Variations

[ramsi274]

Is there anybody who can tell me what Horowitz is playing at 0:45, how it is called or where i can get the scores of it.Thank you in advance

[DERICR]

At 0:45 Mr. Horowitz is playing an excerpt from Rachmaninoff's POLKA de W.R.

[ihrtmusic12334]

oh lol

"idk i never counted"

[ulsbolde89]

The world's most richly sounding piano, I assume? With the world's once best pianist.

[ihrtmusic12334]

of course its a steinway.

i have a B and I would die before giving up.

[BeauteousBeing]

my utmost respect and admiration...

he truly enjoys the music, he actually listens to what he plays, not like all the pianists nowadays, with their arm fling, head bouncing, body twisting, it's like watching a seizure patient, instead of a pianist.

[inazuma3gou]

It's so nice to hear him talk, listening to his voice, smile, and interact with people. Makes me realize that he was more than just a piano virtuoso.

[47834783]

so sad, he died a year after T.T

[pfjqqsdf]

He died four years later in Nov 1989 you dumb shit.

[47834783]

i never said a year after wut u dumb fuck

[pfjqqsdf]

A year after what? Everyone would assume you meant a year after the filming of this video.

[47834783]

lol everyone= you cuz i dont see anyone else complaining

[grum0]

Amazing

[pianomatteo]

ugggh. the end makes me want to cry. every time...lol

[ThePiano1991]

Such a master. I am a true Horowitz lover, he is amazing! And so funny! RIP

[hklifeguard2]

After almost 25 years of the film 'The Last Romantic' released, I can't imagine there are such magnificent out-takes in the warehouse of DG.

To see Maestro once again, it reminds me he has been left us for a long time...

[MarkPetrovich]

Valodja and Wanda Rest in Paeace! Vetchnaya pamyat!

[pianomatteo]

oh what a character! i love him haha. but when he smiles at the end of the beautiful liszt... you know that he is truly in love with music.

[demosj]

Lol @ 3:43, Horowitz does his own thing. His playing is somewhat frightening, he just kind of lurches and the notes play themselves, wearing a thoughtful face when any other pianist would sport a throbbing vein in the temple.

Great footage.

[banchieri10]

il più grande

degli ultimi cent'anni

horowitz è il migliore

[Essexpianos]

Absolutely wonderful! Bravo

[mibishton]

I love how his fingers appear flat when He plays.

[YoelfromNL]

I didn't know it was such a goofy guy. This only increases my respects towards him!

That part of 'Listen, you wanted Moszkowski maybe?' His wife: no! (immediately), studio guys 'no!' and he decides to play Moszkowski haha.

What a great guy ='D

[drbenzin]

wonderful. one of the few moments in life that reflect why it is worth living. the last 10 seconds of this video show the entire universe of human beings´ soul. it is pure truth. i´m so happy now. thank you.

[MrBilde]

Yeah, you could see how he really enjoyed that :)

[wildejag]

Oh, you can tell he really loved Au bord d'une source by his smile at the end. I have his recording from 1947 when he could really play it. I highly recommend it. I am glad to see this. Thank you!

[thesloc]

My favorite bit:

"Listen, you want Moszkowzski maybe"?

"No"

*Plays*

[volodya2]

LOL

[6funswede]

This is highly entertaining, never mind impressing. Those fingers playing Chopin and the Moszkowski piece are nearly 82 years old. Thank you very much for posting this. May any old legend be available for online viewing on Youtube. I like to think that Horowitz would not mind me watching him for free here today.

[silazioz]

i find the outtakes the most interesting of this documentary

:P

ofcourse i like his interpretations also ( he is my fafourite pianist )

[LIANG14]

What a beautiful man...

[lensherr82]

The way Horowitz plays those last runs in the Moszkowski etude very softly and fast is just astounding!!

[BrentAudi]

This is great. I had never seen the outtakes.

He was amazing until the end of his life.

The last camera shot of his face after the Liszt caught so much emotion.

Thanks for posting.

Brent

[Awididishioush]

A legend never dies.

[Poekiemolens]

I always want to cry at the end. This is magic caught on film.

[sagalat]

Brilliant Chopin, Moszkowski, etc. Interesting how his pinky-finger curls up and hides away when not in use. Great film.
