Chopin: Ballade no. 4 in f minor

good recording, flawless..

Somehow, although this interpretation is not as clean as Zimerman's, I prefer this one - there is more emotion to Horowitz's playing.

there are more mistakes in Horowitz performances, but there's a reason he was called the Last Romantic. Such great interpretations.

I don't like it, it is about nothing this playing, this interpretation, I am able just to listen 3 minutes, it is a misunderstanding, he is searching a way, but he is lost, complete failure, omg, it gets worse.I quit

if you can't handle it, you can watch a short version i uploaded. It's called Horowitz Highlights, and it's all the best parts.

...quitter... lol

I used to enjoy Horowitz, although he cheats often, but here he is empty. I am trying to motivate myself to at least listen to the whole piece, but around 3:00 gets really horrible, he has no idea what to do here, so he thought, well, I will make some mess and we will see. pretentious decadence with some aspiration to move a listener at last (?), weird.

i don't get horowitz so i can't appreciate his playing like the commentators below me can...nice interpretation...i wish he played a bit more fluid...sometimes it sounds too clean and choppy

stunningly original and beautifull presentation of one of Chopin's masterworks...
without any doubt my favorite interpretation.

Try Ashkenazy... he reckons with these guys too.

Looking at the music, it is clear Horowitz doesn't heed Chopin's markings... Good for him!! Such great interpretation would lend itself well to composition; you up for it Horowitz?! (Please please please please pretty please?)
