Horowitz's playing was marked by passion and depth. Sure, he was flashy sometimes, but most of the time, his playing was extremely deep. His Chopin may not be "Chopin", as people often say, but I prefer it over any "genuine" artist's interpretation. Same over here. Fiery playing, as it should be.

@pewpewpiansta No, heavy metal is modern musics' attempt at Liszt.
-
@pewpewpiansta Oh come on, no Metal Band ever wrote something that complex xD
-
Horowitz is all his own here. If you want to hear a remarkable version (and my personal favourite) listen to Andre Laplante's recording!
-
I just discovered this piece! It's magical
-
One of my favourite versions of this. Love the rewritten ending.

@meredith218461 What is so bad about doing a hatchet job on this piece?
-
An object lesson in how to do a hatchet job on the Mephisto. It's crude, over inflated and unecessarily embelished. I'm usually a great fan of this legendary piano Titan but here I'm afraid.

In 0.59 he takes enough time to prepare a kick to the bass strings.

Very good interpretation of a truly diabolically difficult composition, of course i haven't heard all of the other piano greats attempting this piece yet.
this is liszt's attempt at heavy metal
