Horowwitz plays the Rachmaninov 3rd Piano Concerto in Avery Fisher Hall, New York, 1978 with Zubin Mehta ( His last recording ever of this concerto and maybe the last time he played it. Horowitz was 75 years old in this recording!!!)

  • "There are three kinds of pianists: Jewish pianists, homosexual pianists, and bad pianists."

  • I have listened to all of Horowitz's recordings of this magnificent concerto, but this is by far my favourite. Sure, it lacks the technical wizardry and perfection of his earlier recordings, but it makes up for it in emotion. Look at his expressions during the sweeping ultra-romantic orchestral parts (e.g. 4:25) - I get the sense he is reflecting on his life, his friendship with Rachmaninoff and perhaps his own mortality, and this humanity shines through particularly strongly in this recording.

  • Horowitz is a good sport to tolerate a silly orchestra playing over him.

  • ♫ Thank you for this superb video. I had the immense privilege and pleasure of attending this concert. :) ♫

  • @AngelodegliDeiME ♪ There is a fourth category: namely one of my goddaughters playing this!

    And she does so almost, but not quite, as well as the Maestro – Vladimir Horowitz! :) ♪
