Vladimir Horowitz - The Last Romantic 8/12 Rachmaninoff - Prelude in G-Sharp, Op 32, No. 12

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

  • LOL!!

    Wife: Don't be afraid, say Rachmaninoff....

    Horowitz: Rachmaninoff was a pianist!

  • Hearing Horowitz speak about and play Rachmaninoff is like a glimpse into another world. There was once a time and a place when men such as this achieved incredible heights of artistic triumph. Today, that world is lost.

  • Is it possible to reload in the correct key?

  • @ClassicalMusicPL Thank you for the elucidation, I was in the wrong. You have to admit though that the profile of Toscanini looks devilishly like Padarewski.

  • @PhillyB702 Yes, but I believe it was in the 40s...

  • Such wonderful music played so exquisite and full of emotion, Rachmaninoff would enjoy his playing so much!

    Amazing!

  • wow! This was my encore piece in my graduation solo recital! Full of memories.

    Love Horowitz's interpretation.

  • Which are the other portraits besides Rachmaninoff's? The one on the left is either Medtner or Padarewski the one on top is Rubinstein I suppose.

  • Did he ever record the second?

  • That tiny bit of the Second sent a chill down my spine. Rachmaninoff just comes naturally to him.
