Vladimir Horowitz - The Last Romantic 6/12 Chopin - Scherzo No. 1 in B Minor

A rare insight in the home life of one of the worlds most famous pianist of all times Vladimir Horowitz.

Beside his amazing performances of Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Mozart, Liszt, Bach etc. we see an other side of the man himself. That of the man outside the stage, laughing, making jokes, talking about hes old friends, wife etc.

its a MUST SEE documentary of the man behind the music


enjoy

  • I love the benign smile at the end of all that physical exertion.

  • Something strange that I feel with both Gilels and (especially) Horowitz. Much of his playing sounds... sloppy? that's not the right word... but all strangely... human. Combined with the absolutely epic face at the end, I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, the coda is amazing...

  • Wow. This is absolutely amazing. He has complete control of tone color and dynamics. And it's not played in C minor. The video is half a tone out of sync for some sort of reason.

  • i damn near died at 8:08

  • He played the bloody thing in C minor, holly

  • damnit man. Why is the sound always out of sync?

  • @anonymousQ45 Well it is true that we may never know who is or was the greatest pianist for all we know they could be someone iliving alone in the countryside. I guess their considered the best because the people chose them more so then anything. Horowitz was awarded the Medal of Freedom for what he did between America and Russia so maybe hes considered the best of his time because of his contributions to the world. That and he still is considered one of the best pianist in the last century.
