  • Sublime in each and every sense & genius the man who posted this treasure for us to behold. Thank you. Unbelievable.

  • Finally an islamey fantasy (and not just an islamey toccata)!

  • BEST VERSION EVER. (imo)

  • I'd say Cziffra's version was still better, but not bad.

  • @Santosificationable Ah, you're thinking of an animated GIF with his tongue moving ?

  • @galanter Horowitz was famous for making his own editions of famous works (Pictures at an Exhibition comes immediately to mind) - I'm sure the cut was intentional and to achieve greater effect.

  • The middle section has a wonderful folk like quality and simplicity that I've not heard before. - Bravo!

  • @jags861 That is the ossia i think!

  • Horowitz deserves more than a crappy photo of him sticking out his tongue.

  • Brilliant performance with many of the sumptuous trademark Horowitzian rhythmic and melodic elements. I wonder if skipped or cut those measures at the end in the finale/coda area on purpose or if it was an exciting live spur of the moment memory slip. Either way, it matters not, because it was superb!
