One of the most breathtaking recordings Vladimir Horowitz ever made, his own transcription of Ferruccio Busoni's arrangement of Franz Liszt's Mephisto Waltz No. 1.

A typical banal Horowitz performance in the style of the banging Cziffra...If technique matters then banging the keys seems to be the way out... (of course it makes a stage before an audience eg in the Rachmanioff Sonata No 2 but really...)

If I remember correctly this recording was done later in his career, so he is notably sloppy. However, there is no other performer who brings out the frightful and passionate quality of this piece better than Horowitz. The mistakes don't matter because he was fearless in his playing and too many today are scared of taking risks and feel the necessity to reach note-perfect playing. Horowitz had a pair of balls and he played with risk and intensity, which is why it's so moving and memorable!
