[ClassicMusicOnly]

I strongly wish Horowitz recorded the Hungarian Rhapsody No.13 commercially. I wonder how it would sound like then, because this sounds more like a pirate recording.

Although I enjoy Cziffra playing the Hungarian Rhapsody No.13, I'm interested in hearing Horowitz's interpretation, since everyone talks about it most of the time when they mention Horowitz. I love the add-on, in the left hand in 8:23 , great composer into the part!

Thanks for posting!

ClassicMusicOnly - it is absolutely a pirate - boston, 1969, one and only performance - alas!

Magical.

jade149 - i wish more people knew of it. this is piano-playing such as only he knew.

[InOmniaParatus83]

otherworldly  sound...

[kasyapa]

nothing like it, even in his own oeuvre ...

[Seabamirum]

This has to be one of the best pirate Horowitz recordings EVER!

[kasyapa]

you are truly, deeply welcome - i hope you enjoy the other rarities, too.

[kasyapa]

agreed. and the flow between the two is so distinctly his.

[kasyapa]

delighted you enjoyed - the finale, almost 25 years after i first heard the file, continues to amaze me. i can't even make out all he is doing. someone needs to attempt a transcription - i don't think it would be that difficult except for that ending.
