@kasyapa i would love to hear the story you said about hearing him. It's so wonderful having guys like you on Youtube with wonderful uploads like this and many other.And these faces he makes, he is just like a child ,what a great personality! My fave pianist of all time, what a wonder must have been for you hearing the master LIVE!
you are very welcome. i saw him in person in december 1985 and he was completely playful and profoundly serious at the same time. it wasn't just an act for the cameras - though maybe for all audiences. :)
the very first statement in this video contradicts horowitz's personal philosophy

The funny part about the parody is that his "taking picture" action is so out-dated. It's like making jokes in Latin. :P Love him.

genomos90 - no, at the very beginning it's an improvisation with scales going way up.

First time I've seen this footage; I knew he was a stickler for the position of the instrument on stage and that his wife often advised him on this!

John19182004 4 years ago
i believe that part is in the commercial release, where horowitz talks about scriabin being crazy and imitates his nervous, ticky behavior.

having heard his sound live, i can assure you - the stories about him being "explosive" and "thunderous" were absolutely true.

Man I wonder how it is to be put on the worldwide stage while just rehearsing. Annoying photographers lol

with his charisma and intrinsic performer's soul, he probably loved it.
