Reageren op deze video... Thank you for uploading! I enjoy the recording of Ferenc Liszt on the day he was born 200 years ago... and performed by -to me- the sublimely creative pianist Horowitz... just enjoying myself!
Thanks again!

@1Thompsonmusic No then Horowitz: he only had a revolution on his neck, in which his piano was thrown off the balcony, many of his relatives killed and was forced to play in factory halls. It was way easier and more pleasant then to be a pianist! After he fled Russia he was harassed: his mother got no medical treatment and died subsequently, his father died in agony because he had fled from the sovjet system and make a 'career' as you called it. I have sympathy for your sigh but hear him play...

Meisterhaft Gleichgewicht Ausdrucksmittel von dem Anwendung von Hände

@auldbrass moreover: "Everything In It's Right Place" — same key

@Ray0X0 :.... also a great version. I still prefer this "raw" one :-)

@bersa888 So if you listen to Arrau performing this work, you'd fall back !... :)

This sounds a lot more.... contemporary than the majority of 19th century composers.
At least, to my untrained ears.
I wish I was around in Horowitz's day, when you didn't have to go through a thousand competitions and join a thousand websites to have a damn career.

Listen carefully to the chord progression beginning around :59.....this seems to be the inspiration for Radiohead's Pyramid Song.
