  • Amazing technical facility for one in his eighties.

    Actually, amazing to play so beautifully at any age!

    I wish I'd been able to see him play live.

    Thank goodness we have, for posterity, some recordings on film of this great pianist.

    God bless Vladimir Horowitz and Franz Schubert.

  • wow I like what you said! See your rating. 43 thumbs up! Well said. I dun understand why some people have the need to torture themselves watching shows they think its bad. Waste their time. I like Horowitz's performance!

  • Horowitz game has a magical moment ... even from the beginning!

  • @12rosebud12 Jazz hadn't been invented while Schubert was alive

  • @BerlinguerEnrico1921 well i think his "tricks" do not always work with Schubert (or Beethoven), that's why he probably never played a lot of these composers, just like Bach. This music is not supposed to be "overromanticised", imho. When Richter plays D960 the time stands still.

  • I think Horowitz understood nothing of Schubert!In fact he once retired for 12 years after a terrible execution of D960!

  • je trouve très intéressant l'approche que donne ce pianiste à cette oeuvre mais je préférais tout de même l'approche de Zimmerman sur les Impromptus de Shubert.

  • Bravo!

    

  • If only video cameras were invented in the 1800s oh how many wonderful things we would see today. Its a shame :(

  • his pianissimi are marvellous

  • WTFFFF?!?!?

  • I remember being a bit later than usual to my church organist job that Sunday morning he was on because I was so fascinated with his playing. Several people commented to me afterward about the performance. My husband wound up buying the CD which is still a favorite at our house.
