  • Astounding.

  • ixcuincle - that is his nature. :)

  • gotta love those cannon ball -like bass notes

  • MrZnoo - he was juggling the cannon-balls. all his life.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Horowitz is a squid-he has ten hands :)

  • so it is true. Horowitz has 6 arms.
