  • oops... who was first? albert einstein or horowitz???

  • In the case of this recording, the likes or dislikes of mere mortals are irrelevant. This recording was made in 1931, shortly after Horowitz had left Russia, the homeland of both himself and Rachmaninov.

    The power of Rachmaninov's music is contained within, and transmuted through, Horowitz's extraordinary hands. Intense, almost terrifying, excitement , intercepted by a passage of swooning passion, and finished off with a throw away end. Dont' judge, just listen and understand.

  • Love Rachmaninoff! Love Horovitz! Love his picture!!!

  • @phipeli1 :D :D

  • too high velocity, virtuos, but not the right interpretation, horowitz meaning is: hey, people I'm the fastest, but i love horowitz

  • i think horowitz had a lot fun playing this prelude like this... but he should do this at home, not in a recording... i confirm that it is very funny to play this piece without trying to hit the right notes...

  • @atvrealty way too fast !

  • to fast..

  • completed in 1901, recorded in 1931, played in 2011...and still timeless

  • Too fast for my liking. But certainly a virtuosic performance

  • ...I just love that picture of him!
