  • Live wire!

  • They didn't use electronic microphones at all in 1923. It is an acoustic recording.

  • Precise and strong. Just like a military march is intended to be. 2 thumbs up.

  • @brosephjames but they had cheaper Neumann microphones back then.

  • @loboris1995 No he does not. While this is a very unique interpretation, both Rachmaninoff and Horowitz blow him out of the water.

  • my favourite compostion of Rachmaninoff.

    mainly the "slow" part is beautiful, the most difficult part.

    even if i think, my father would have played it better...

  • @Logistica11735

    you are a fucking idiot

    keep your religious insults out these beautiful videos

  • Sensational playing. I think the young Horowitz took Hofmann's lead in his first recording of this prelude.

  • @Logistica11735 WTF!!! Bad move, bad comment, IDIOT!
