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

@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! :) ♪

Rachmaninoff himself said that he never could play this concerto the way he like it? and he never thought he will ever hear it on Earth till he heard it played by Horowitz

"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.
