  • @MrVladimirHorowitz Actually, Horowitz in his youth could claim playing entire concerts without mistakes (or merely a single mistake out of a whole program as Arthur Rubinstein noted in his autobiography). But he never consciously tried to achieve that technical perfectionism - his technique was just that good. When he got older, and he made plenty of mistakes. But his philosophy was always the same, and he was right all along.

  • That applause blew my speakers.

  • WONDERFUL HOROWITZ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡GOD BLESS¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • so.. powerful..

  • I cannot skip the ad faster.

  • C'est d'une subtilité poignante... je frémis au jeu d'Horowitz, le meilleur interprète de l'écriture Rachmaninovienne !! Tout simplement magique ..

  • Wonderful! There are performances of Horowitz, when younger, playing this 1min. faster than he does here.Those versions are incredible, but I think he was mostly showing (off) what he could do.

    Here Horowitz makes music. He & Rachmaninoff were friends. He knew what R. was after.

    Mdme. Gina Bachauer was for a short time a student of Rach. In this performance Horowitz plays this piece just as she taught me that Rachmaninoff had her play it. --Giles is great too, but this is my favorite.
