Astonishing. For a piece that is really little more than a kitschaw, the Maestro extracts every bit of musicality. And so little pedal! At the age of...oh, who cares? He gives you a musical experience even out of a little morceau such as this.
this is horowitz' best performance of polka de W.R. in my opinion..... the rubato he put is just perfect. this polka performance is way better than the one he performed in london, 1982
@casalsfan whatever you pick of horowitz is genius, you know he was a composer as well - and everybody knows that composers play so free and improvisatory ;)

@The55555SSSSS That's the opus number for the original work. This polka is merely a transcription of a work by Franz Behr.
