Chopin Scherzo No 3 Op 39 Rec 1957 Horowitz
Loading...

Notice the judicious use of the pedal in the octave passages. Today, some of our young pianists (and some that are no longer so young) would have the pedal nailed to the floor so that listeners would not hear the cracks between the keys. They play it as though it was composed by their misconception of Liszt. The clarity and poetry of this performance ranks it as one of the very few great recordings of this work. Thankfully, Horowitz did not re-record this scherzo in his later years.

I agree if you refer about Argerich´s studio recording of this scherzo. Horowitz´s 1957 version is better than the above mentioned. However we cannot find a live recording to appreciate it with his unique aura in concert. Argerich´s live recording at Warsaw Chopin Competition in 1965, shows Martha maybe at her best point. I adore her version. She sounds absolutely free.

very familiar opening to rachmaninov but but horowitz wins again, for me anyway.

@forgottenbooks I'm sorry, the A's.

@jjp009 It's just you. Horowitz adds an extra note or something along with the G#s.

Love the introduction, the steady rhythm, the staccato quality, and the overwhelmingly powerful coda.

@vizion24 yuck.

@grandtwilek no

He plays the coda so amazingly fast and clearly at the same time!

This is easily the best recording of the Scherzo in c# minor ever made. No other pianist could compete with Horowitz' massive sonority and fiery grandeur of conception. He also plays the lyrical sections beautifully, bringing out the inner voices and playing the choral section with exceptional richness of tone.

Horowitz wins hands down in my opinion for his ability to underline and extract every bit of music out of this work. Argerich is of course brilliant, but with this piece, her interpretation goes right out the window for me.
