@MISHA1119 Thank you so much for showering me with your infinite and superior musical knowledge. You are the counterexample to the idea that people who spend the majority of their time on the internet are pretentious low-lives who rant intellectual babble simply to feel some sort of superiority or entitlement over the other worthless pions who happened to stumble upon something sophisticated. God bless you, sir. Live long and prosper. May the force be with you.

@MISHA1119 chill out..

@Deimosxsz - bravo to that intellectual statement! Scriabin is my favorite Romantic composer, a near tie with Rach. And yet, there are certain Scriabin pieces that, if they were the first things of Scriabin I heard, i would never touch him again! It takes a long time to understand some of his furthest machinations!

@VdSV9 No my post wasn't intended to be a Troll, it was just a joke I tried to make. I personally do enjoy this piece and even more Horowitz playing. What I was trying to make fun about was, that uneducated listeners could find this piece offensive.

@RediForKing I'm assuming this post was a Troll, so I'm removing it.

@NEDM77 Thanks a lot, I was not aware of the Cleveland live version.



This is prime Horowitz, his high-voltage neuromuscular system undiminished, before the ravages of old age slowed his steel trap reflexes and sapped his limitless power. I seriously doubt Liszt himself played better than this. This is not just "Toward the Flame", it's in it. Horowitz immolates the piano in luminous sheets of fire. Simply without equal.
