Scarlatti Sonata in A Major K 322 Horowitz Rec 1951

There was so much more to Horowitz as an artist than his fabulous 'wow' transcriptions and interlocking chromatic octaves that, unfortunately, many young (mostly male) pianists think is the epitome of great piano playing. To me, they only prove that Horowitz was an amazing virtuoso and a great transcriber. But he was more than a mere virtuoso, and that is why he is justly considered to be a great pianist.
Here he plays Scarlatti's Sonata in A Major K 322

I'm in heaven.

Perfect tempo...too slow kills the joy, faster than this kills the melody!:>

Yes, his Scarlatti was hypnotizing, and was the highest level of musical storytelling.

I just hope that I get my LPs digitized before I depart this world!!!

sparkling, dazzling, yet understated at the same time. My god do I love this performance

[Ticey1201]

I don't know much about classical music nor do i listen to it much but every time i hear good musicians play it gives me a good feeling.

I love how he plays this. He ususally plays the Scarlatti Sonatas as encores. Love them.

Curieusement Horowitz adopte un tempo assez lent du moins dans cette version, che CBS (Sony) il me parait plus énergique ...?
