Sound like every note was planned. Very restrained playing considering how this gets played on the harpsicord.

@PJinBston Following the score verbatim for a Scarlatti sonata is not the same as doing so for a Couperin piece nor even one by master Bach. Scarlatti on piano requires something that his markings for harpsichord could not bring out. Following the score verbatim would create a dry void of bland muted colors. Horowitz has a romantic attack and approach to this music, which may not be to everyone's taste, but his performance is stronger precisely because he does NOT follow the score.

Why does he feel the need to rush when he gets to the octaves? to show off? How annoying; it completely ruins the mood for me.

@PJinBston You waste everyone's time with snarky posts like this. Instead of being a high school smart-ass, why dont' tell us what you don't like and why. You read the score, you interpret what you read, and produce music. So again, unless you have actually heard god or the composer play it OR otherwise state that Horowitz's performance is in error per se, its all a matter of your opinion--one which you are greatly outnumbered on. You imply that music plays itself. Sticking with HUBRIS on this.
These are wonderful! I've listened these Horowitz recordings a thousand times and never got tired listening to them.
