Pathos, romance, strength, pride, balls & grit its all there in this version. Good old Horowitz, he nailed it good and proper !

poor piano. Now it's got bruises all over it :D
-
Why sound the piano so crazy :D
-
@huartchristian: Horowitz once said that if Art Tatum ever decided to go classical he would quit playing. :)

well this was Horowitz participation on war effort.... the atmosphere at a moment where the end of war was already visible , the joy is already in this interpretation and the proudness being part of America. Horowitz did chose america to live with, so whats more normal than feeling like any american...

@tuxguys LOL!!!!

This is something only Horowitz could do. Never heard a more beautiful version than this.

thats better than the RCA distributed version. The first time I heard this I got so excited that I did play it again and again all the evening. From the very first listening to Horowitz on I knew there is no better or more exciting pianist available....

uhartchristian - i like this one for the slightly more risky edge, and the familiar one for the transparent sound and apparently greater perfection.
