  • Be quiet!

    Listen...

    Horowitz - king of piano

  •  Very penetrating rendition!

  • This was so fucking fantastic

  • Comment removed

  • I've always enjoyed the subtly of this 1959 RCA recording. The later CBS recording was exciting if a bit frenzied, but misses the sheer poetry demonstrated here.

  • i think the hammerklavier and appassionata are two of the greatest large scale sonatas for piano in history....beethoven really knew how to penetrate deep into the human psyche

  • Apparently this was Lenin's favourite piece of music.....

  • Who disliked this? I wanna know who. Who damnit!

  • @ProkofievRules Sviatoslav Richter, perhaps?

  • @ProkofievRules or perhaps Beethoven himself?

  • @MozartK365 Beethoven would LOVE this and Rachmaninoff's Appassionata - Horowitz heard Rach perform it. Does anyone know if Rach's is uploaded on YT - thanks :-))

  • @ProkofievRules: That person probably is in denial now. =)

  • děkuji, je to krásné a trvalé

  • great

  • Ilove L.Bettoven,IloveHorowitz....

  • c'est monstrueux !!qu'ont on sait qu'il n'aimait pas Beethoven et pourtant je trouve que c'est une des plus belles version avec aussi son inoubliable 3 éme mvt de la Waldstein

  • without words...

  • Possibly the 2nd best performance of this piece I've heard in my opinion.

  • I feel the same way. Whose is your favorite? I like M. Hess's performance best (for now, anyway).

  • @tfman15 Wiche is the 1st for you?^^

  • Wow.. What a phenomenal performance

  • simplicityho....fuck you!

  • I love the way he plays this sonata this time, so slowly and gravely, with true despair. A great interpretation of this colossal sonata. It is like he is feeling every single note

  • impecável...

  • This sounds like the 1959 RCA recording. He later did it for CBS in the early 70's, which is a bit more frenzied.

  • There is another recording of Horowitz playing the same piece, which one did he record earlier?

  • I think this one, it sounds older.

  • yeah first one to comment!!!!!!!!! he is amazing
